They have an automated voice recognition system which I used to get the information I required and I must admit that I am impressed with it's speed, simplicity and efficiency.

It really didn't seem like I was talking to a machine and in fact, was more efficient than some human call centre interactions I have had of late.

I guess this technology has moved on considerably but I have not come across it in many scenarios so maybe it is still too expensive for firms to justify the investment.

I'm currently contracting at a place called SpinVox, and it's amazing what their hardware can do.
