What's New

Enhanced Pronunciation Control

Venue managers can now configure custom phonetic spellings for venues where Collins Call EVO may struggle with pronunciation. This ensures your AI assistant speaks venue names naturally and accurately during customer calls.


How It Works

Configuration

  • Access the Collins Call EVO dashboard and navigate to your venue settings

  • Select the cog icon next to the venue you wish to configure

  • Find the new Phonetic Label field located directly below the standard Phone Number Label field

  • Enter a phonetic spelling that guides proper pronunciation (e.g., "Bow-sham Arms" for "Beaucham Arms")

During Calls

  • When processing booking requests, Collins Call EVO uses the phonetic label for speech pronunciation

  • This ensures venue names sound natural and are easily understood by customers

SMS Communications

  • Booking confirmation SMS messages continue to display the proper venue name from the Phone Number Label field

  • This maintains brand consistency and ensures customers see the correct venue spelling in written communications

  • The same applies to pre-order and deposit SMS messages

Default Behaviour

  • If no phonetic label is configured, Collins Call EVO defaults to pronouncing the venue name as shown in the Phone Number Label field

  • Existing venues will continue to function as before until a phonetic label is added

Benefits

  • Improved customer experience - Natural-sounding venue name pronunciation during calls

  • Brand consistency - Correct venue spelling maintained in all text communications

  • Simple configuration - Easy-to-use interface for setting phonetic labels

  • Flexible control - Configure only the venues that require pronunciation guidance

Getting Started

This feature is now available to all Collins Call EVO customers. Simply access your venue configuration settings to begin using phonetic labels where needed.
