Who You Are

We believe that all voice interactions have a special power to create great customer experiences, even when those interactions are with automated systems. Automated voice experiences should be intuitive and efficient while maintaining a personal feel. At Versay, Voice Application developers practice this belief every day when creating these kinds of experiences. It is both an art and a science and requires people with intuition, creativity, and the ability to imagine many different user perspectives.
