Ivr And Canada (not Us Postal Codes)

Recommended Posts

Do you have sames of an IVR system where you ask for a postal code. In the USA it is easy, we only have digits, what is the best practice method for dealing with Alphanumeric codes.

 

Do you turn each digits in the numbers and try all of the options.

 

Thanks.

Just use a Get Numbers module...

There is none.

If you have a small number of options then you could write a script which does such matching... what character combinations are you trying to recognize? Two character state codes?

Hi,

We are trying to match zip codes. My plan was to figure out the permutations and if we have multiple cities returned use tts to play back and have the user select. I did not know what others have done but I would imagine that IVR systems written for Europe would have resolved this a long time ago.

Yes, playing back the possible options if their number is fairly small (< 10) is how most systems do it.
