What is IVR application development?

IVR (Interactive Voice Response) application development involves creating automated telephony systems that interact with callers, gather information, and route calls to the appropriate recipient. Developers design and program these systems to interpret voice or keypad inputs, enabling businesses to automate customer service, conduct surveys, or process transactions over the phone. IVR applications can improve efficiency, reduce wait times, and offer 24/7 support to customers. The development process includes integrating telephony hardware, software frameworks, and sometimes AI for speech recognition.
