| IVR User Experience Evaluation
Have an IVR solution already in place? A User Experience Evaluation will help you understand how well your IVR is meeting your organizational needs. Objective measures like IVR usage statistics and recognition performance tell only part of the story on IVR performance. A UX Evaluation goes beyond dry statistics to reveal what really matters: what do customers think of your IVR? By taking a deep dive into the experience users have when they call your organization, a UX Evaluation provides a vital subjective view to balance typical performance metrics.
We have multiple methods in our UX toolbox and can customize an evaluation plan to meet your schedule and budgets.
Expert Review:
Need to get feedback on your system now? Not sure what you need? An Expert Review is the best place to start. We approach your IVR system from the perspective of a customer—we follow the paths that customers do, listen to the same prompts, and make the same mistakes to give us a deep appreciation for the experience your customers have with your IVR. We take these observations and use our years of experience in voice user interface design to identify problems and spot hindrances to successful call automation.
Recorded Call Analysis:
What do callers really do when they call? Listening to real callers trying to solve real problems uncovers opportunities and issues that are not obvious from any other testing method. Analyzing recorded calls lets us hear what callers want, how they react, and what trips them up. SpeechUsability will turn several hundred calls into a manageable set of issues and recommendations for improvement.
Call Statistics Review:
Are you drowning in data? Many organizations collect a great deal of usage data on their IVRs but are unable to turn that data into a plan for improving the system. Let SpeechUsability help you make sense of the statistics by finding data to support other usability findings and identify new issues. A Call Statistics Review is best paired with a Heuristic Evaluation.
Usability Testing:
The gold standard for understanding how people use your IVR. The controlled environment of a usability test provides an unparalleled ability to observe customers interacting with your IVR and hear their reactions and opinions to specific aspects of the call. SpeechUsability is a pioneer in finding the most effective usability methods specifically to speech and IVR to deliver targeted, actionable data to improve the experience and drive self-service usage.
