The current phone plus service 'Dial for Cricket' is being shifted to speech interactive voice portal during the world cup period. This novel speech-activated system lends access to the cricket information service. Subscribers need to dial ‘1750’ and then just speak out the cricket information from a given menu they wish to access.

Through 1750, a Touchtel subscriber can access information on live commentary, details of scorecard, position of teams, points gained by teams and schedule of matches. The service will be charged Rs. 2.40/pulse (one pulse=180 seconds). The system runs on a unique speech recognition based software and allows people to conduct a truly natural dialogue with an automated system.
