• Interactive Voice Response—enables Toshiba Authorized Software Developers to create custom IVR applications. A developer works directly with the customer to determine their exact IVR application needs. An IVR application can relay specific computer database information to callers over the telephone based on an individual’s unique input from a touchtone telephone dial pad. Information received from the database can be spoken back to the caller in a number of different ways, such as date, time, dollars and cents, numbers, or predetermined phrases.
  
  
• Token Programming- Customize voice processing functions using Stratagy’s® Token Programming, a powerful yet simple scripting language. Tokens can add or enhance voice mail features and functions such as recording and playback, audio files, or using DTMF entries by callers to provide data response or special call routing. Tokens can perform functions as simple as a hook-fl ash, and as complicated as an IVR application, specific to your needs. Token Programming is developed and deployed by Authorized Toshiba Dealers.
