What is Voice Broadcasting?

• Voice broadcasting is a communication technology
  developed in the early 1990s.
• With the ability to initiate a large number of
  telephone calls simultaneously, a voice broadcast
  can reach be created and delivered to thousands
  of points of termination at the same time.
• Broadcast technology of this type is now commonly
  employed in many business settings as well as a
  means of connecting with people during political
  campaigns and even emergency situations.

• Sometimes referred to as blast broadcasting, the
  process of creating and executing a voice
  broadcast requires several components in order to
  function correctly.
• First, there must be a source of telephone
  numbers to use for the dialing phase of
• the broadcast.
• A digital recording of the message that is to be
  delivered must also be created in advance.

• While voice broadcast systems vary somewhat in
  design, most of them are configured to allow each
  telephone number in the call database to be
  dialed at regular intervals until a connection is
  established.
• Using voice recognition software, the automated
  message begins to play as soon as the system
  detects that the line has been answered. If a
  line fails to connect due to a busy signal or
  continual ringing with no answer, the phone
  number is returned to the queue and is redialed
  several minutes later.

• Today, there are also ways to create a more
  robust platform that makes it possible for the
  recipients of a voice broadcast to respond by
  using the touch tone keypad on their phones to
  respond to questions, hear the voice broadcast
  again, or be transferred to a live attendant.

• Businesses may use voice broadcasting as a
  promotional tool, alerting existing customers of
  new product or service offerings.
• Some municipalities use broadcast technology as a
  means of providing citizens with important data
  in the event of a natural disaster or other
  emergency.
• For essentially any situation where there is a
  need to dispense information quickly to a large
  group of people, voice broadcasting is a highly
  viable option.
