Voice-Enabled Phone Directory
There is a voice-enabled telephone directory available for finding and connecting to District phone extensions. It has three entry points, regionally optimized for keypad browsing, but each "regional" number has access to the entire corporate directory.
How to Use the Directory
- Dial the regional number of your choice (see below)
- Speak the full name of the person you are trying to reach (e.g. "Kevin Wilmeth")
- Respond to the system's search result
If the system correctly finds the requested name, it will immediately route you to that extension when you respond with "Yes". If not, the system will try again, and its subsequent questions are reasonably self-explanatory. It's not perfect by any means, but it's pretty good, and can be much faster than other means of looking numbers up.
Note that you can begin speaking your requested name as soon as you hear the system begin its greeting; you do not need to wait for the greeting to complete. :-)
The Three Regional Numbers
Remember that these numbers all access the same directory. The "regional" part only comes into play if you choose to browse the directory with the keypad.
