Surf-By-Tel Product Information

The GetVocal Surf-By-Tel voice browser allows you to surf the web with only your telephone and your voice! Our Web 2.0 Voice Portal technology dynamically converts any website's HTML code to speech on-the-fly making our solution perfect for mobile professionals and/or visually impaired customers.

You can now offer your customers interactive telephone services driven from your existing website or web application!

A unique combination of state-of-the-art technologies including: Advanced Speech Recognition, Text-to-Speech, VoiceXML, and the Internet - means that you can optimize your website investment by reaching a wider audience than that reached by the Web alone. It also means that you can turn your existing web developers into telephony engineers.

Surf-By-Tel is a radically new offering that enables people to access information from any website, written in standard HTML, using only a telephone and spoken commands or DTMF touch-tones. The aim of GetVocal's Surf-By-Tel solution is to allow companies to leverage their existing websites to provide self-service applications to callers over the telephone. We also enable companies to become immediately Section 508 compliant by simply posting your Surf-By-Tel phone number of your website on your website!

Surf-By-Tel is a flexible, cost-effective solution, offering alternative to IVR. Using standard HTML as the base language, Surf-By-Tel solutions are driven by the content of web pages and the caller's voice. Using natural dialog, these services allow customers or internal staff easy access to a wide range of information from any telephone, at any time, from anywhere.
