Directory Assistance refers to operators giving out telephone numbers to callers who dial 411 and 555-1212. Intercept refers , to Operators advising callers that certain certain telephone numbers they have dialed have been changed or disconnected. disconnected. For Directory Assistance, customers still dial 411 and tell the operator the name and 'address of the person whose telephone number they want. The operator will still have access to the same kinds of numbers, will select the listing number to be given to the customer. Then, instead of voice quoting the number; the operator will depress a Voice Response key and the system will report the appropriate information information to the customer. The downstream billing system will determine whether the customer should be charged for the call. Since the Voice ' Response system is handling the report phase of the call and sending billing information to the accounting system, the operator will be able to move on to the next call sooner. The information will be repeated so the caller has two opportunities opportunities to hear it and jot it down for future reference. On Intercept, Voice Response will handle,all aspects of some calls; in other situations, the operators will key in the intercepted phone number and the Voice Response system will report the appropria^ information to the customer. "Our operators will continue to handle the more challenging areas of the job -- listening to and inter preting a caller's request, then searching searching for the correct telephone number, " says Carol Stephenson, regional director - Operator Ser- "There will be times when operators will want to override the system to handle an entire call, for instance, if a caller is elderly or disabled. They will have the option to usé their judgement and do what is beSt to provide service to the customer." The use of part-time employees to handle increased call volumes in the past year means there will be no layoffs when Voice Response is introduced. introduced. The experience of telephone companies companies in the United Stated and other parts of Canada indicates customers will perceive service to be at the same high level they have come to expect. The sound of the system's 'voice' is natural, with normal intonation, thanks to special recording techniques techniques at Bell Northern Research. In Ontario, 1200 operators handle handle half-a-million Directory Assistance and Intercept calls each day and the calls are increasing at a rate of 6 to 12 percent each year. "Voice Response is a way of handling this phenomenal growth while ensuring that customer service is maintained at its current high level," says Stephenson. Wedding?
