Two detection modes
Standard Voicemail Detection
Fast and cost-effective
Our Standard Voicemail Detection performs real-time speech analysis using a sophisticated mathematical algorithm that distinguishes human speech from machine tones with remarkable speed and efficiency, all without any understanding of what is actually being said.
By precisely measuring the duration of the initial salutation, SIP Caller determines the answer type. Long greetings are characteristic of voicemail systems, while short phrases indicate a live person. When a beep tone is detected, the system immediately recognizes an answering machine and triggers the appropriate callflow.
Real-time speech analysis with no noticeable latency
Measures salutation length to detect voicemail greetings
Instant beep tone detection for voicemail systems
No AI cost, runs entirely on SIP Caller infrastructure
AI-Based Voicemail Detection
Maximum accuracy and intelligence
The AI-Based Voicemail Detection streams call audio in real time to an AI agent that truly understands what is being said. This delivers significantly higher accuracy and unlocks powerful new capabilities that go far beyond simple voice analysis.
Because the AI agent comprehends the spoken content, it can separately identify a live human, a company IVR (Interactive Voice Response), and a voicemail system. Humans and voicemail each get their own callflow, while IVR calls are ended and their message is saved in reports, so you can tell the AI agent which DTMF key to press next time. It even handles automated call screeners: the AI can introduce the caller by name, state the purpose of the call, and respond to any DTMF prompts the screener requires.
Higher accuracy than algorithm-based detection
Identifies humans, voicemail systems, and company IVRs separately
Execute a different callflow for humans and voicemail
Bypasses automated call screeners intelligently
Provides the caller name and call purpose to screeners
Responds to DTMF prompts requested by call screeners
