摘要:
A automated method of transferring calls can include, within an established call with a calling party, receiving from the calling party a request specifying a name. The name can be compared with a listing of names and associated directory numbers to determine if there is a match. A directory number associated with the matched name can be processed according to translation attributes to determine a dialable number. The dialable number can be sent to a telephony switch to transfer the call.

A method for correcting ambiguations in directory assistance systems includes the steps of receiving and processing a directory assistance request from a caller. If the processing results in an ambiguation of at least two names, audio information is provided to the caller. The audio information includes, at least in part, playback of an audio recording of at least one person included in the ambiguation. The audio playback helps the caller resolve the ambiguation. A voice activated directory assistance system having structure for resolving ambiguations is also disclosed.
