About Us

Customer Experience, It’s Our Calling!

Healthtech Purpose-Built to Reduce Friction Between Callers and the Resources They Need

The best combination of AI and human support to improve patient experience as well as switchboard and access center operations in healthcare

We’re dedicated to helping you deliver better customer experiences at scale. When it comes to service, organizations please customers primarily by helping them solve their problems quickly and easily. Callers should be able to speak naturally and connect quickly with the resources they need. We get callers to the right place without the effort of old fashioned IVRs and the frustration of long hold times. Designing, implementing, managing, and continuously optimizing the most caller-friendly experience is our primary focus. It’s all we do, and no one does it better.

Why Parlance

For over 25 years, organizations nationwide have depended on Parlance to modernize and improve the first 30 seconds of every caller’s journey and remove barriers to service. Our solutions enable consumers to speak naturally and connect directly when they call organizations on the phone, providing friction-free, voice-driven access to the resources they need. No long hold times, no confusing menus, no numbers to press on a dial pad.

Parlance has a prestigious history of solving real world problems through the science of sound and the power of voice. Parlance speech recognition solutions evolved from BBN Technologies, now Raytheon BBN Technologies, and provided expert acoustical analysis to the U.S. government during the JFK assassination investigation. When the United Nations headquarters needed a design to ensure optimal acoustics, so that every word in every meeting could not only be heard, but be flawlessly recorded, we were there, too. Parlance has legacy of innovation and accomplishment that has driven us forward for decades.
Today, our commercial applications have one clear objective: Help people simplify their lives through speech automation. It’s a goal that has continuously guided our pioneering work to modernize caller experiences.

With Parlance relieving the burden of routine transfers and poor self-service, business operations are optimized – live agent effort is saved for more complex calls, massive hold queues are eliminated, there are fewer interactions from frustrated callers waiting on hold, staff morale improves, and revenue leakage due to call abandonment is significantly reduced.

Sabrina is one of the live voices of Parlance. She’s a real person. Behind each human voice is the Parlance speech technology engine. Sabrina “listens” to your callers and transfer them where they need to go. She speaks fluent Spanish. She answers the phone 24 hours a day, she’s never sick, and she doesn’t take vacations. When Parlance is a part of your team, your agents and operators can do what they are trained to do — the human stuff — like empathizing and problem-solving, while we do the routine transfers. Together, we maximize the value of your live support team and create a great caller and operator experience.
