Fax-on-demand

With approximately 100 million fax machines worldwide, facsimiles are still an ideal way to disperse information. Fax-on-demand allows a caller to retrieve information via fax simply be using their phones. There are several ways that an application can send out the fax: users can either use touchtone to indicate which document they would like or use automatic speech recognition (ASR) to “say” which document they would like. This service is ideal for companies who need to have information constantly available to their customers or employees in places other than their website. For example, wholesale electricity prices, mortgage rates and account balance information can be dynamically updated just prior to transmission and easily send to the end user.
