Well put. I still prefer the yes/no approach to avoid confusion. I have designed most of the surveys that way and get good responses, which is what it is all...
Actually, I prefer to use live interviewers, which I've found gives a higher response rate, better data, more flexibility, and leaves a much more positive...

Can anyone suggest an approach for detecting profanity in voicemail? We would like to be able to provide an option for customers to have messages containing...
Okay, now I'm intrigued.... Whose voicemail box gets so much profanity that you feel the need to deploy sophisticated speech recognition technology plus labor-...

That was my favorite part! Give me a break, it sounded like a joke. I couldn't believe it. It's like in the article on 11 Guidelines for VUI in the latest...
