TRANSLITERATE ADDRESSES FROM ONE ALPHABET TO ANOTHER

PAV-I supports 9 writing systems and will transliterate address data for Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese Kanji, Chinese, Arabic, Thai, and Korean Hangul. For example, if you input a Japanese address in English characters, you have the option to request the validated address in either English or Japanese Kanji.

We will use the address 3-24-20, YOKODAI ISOGO-KU YOKOHAMA, 2350045, JAPAN to highlight the transliteration capabilities of PAV-I. The default setting for transliteration is false. When set to true, the verified address will output to the native language if it is supported. The only exception to this is the country output field, which will return in English.

Address entered with native output set to true:

Input Address: 3-24-20 YOKODAI ISOGO-KU YOKOHAMA 2350045 JAPAN

Output Results: A RESCODE of “1″ and OUTPUTSTATUS of “C” combined means the address was successfully matched or parsed and has been corrected to match the reference data. The corrected and transliterated address is output both in the ADDR field as well as the individual address fields. As mentioned earlier, the COUNTRY output field will return in English and does not transliterate.

 

The last output field MATCHLVL returned a “2,” which signifies verification down to the street level. These output returns are meaningful because they provide a record of any corrections that were made to your addresses along with the level to which the addresses were verified. The following MATCHLVL returns are available:

• 0 – No Match
• 1 – Town, City, Locality, Municipality, Suburb
• 2 – Street
• 3 – Premise (Building)
• 4 – Organisation (Varies by country, Business or Administrative Entity)

Address entered with native output set to false:

Input Address: 3-24-20 YOKODAI ISOGO-KU YOKOHAMA 2350045 JAPAN

Output Results: A RESCODE of “1″ and OUTPUTSTATUS of “C” combined means the address was successfully matched or parsed and has been corrected to match the reference data.

INNOVATIVE PARSING ABILITY

PAV-I has the ability to parse addresses entered in one or many fields. Using multiple address fields for input is useful when you are familiar with international addresses and the specific elements of the input address. If uncertain of the specific address elements, inputting information in the wrong fields may complicate or confuse matching.

To illustrate this, let’s use the address Rose House, 51-59 Circular Road, Isle of Man, IM1 1AZ, United Kingdom to show how this address can be entered using fielded or unfielded input.

Address entered with unfielded input:

Input Address: Rose House, 51-59 Circular Road, Isle of Man, IM1 1AZ, United Kingdom

Output Results: A RESCODE of “1″ and OUTPUTSTATUS of “V” combined means the address was successfully matched or parsed and has been verified mailable with no change.

Address entered with fielded input:

Input Address: Rose House, 51-59 Circular Road, IM1 1AZ, United Kingdom

Output Results: In this case, “Isle of Man” was not included in the input data. As a result, RESCODE  “1″ and OUTPUTSTATUS “C” was returned (the address was successfully matched or parsed and has been corrected to match the reference data).

PAV-I VERIFICATION CODES

Addresses are verified with a RESCODE and an OUTPUTSTATUS. The RESCODE returns data based on whether the address was successfully matched or not. The OUTPUTSTATUS provides extra details regarding the verification or correction that occurred when verifying the address.

There are two supported operations for Canadian address verification: VerifyAddress and VerifyAddressAdvanced. Only two return codes apply to Canadian addresses. A return code of 200 means that the address was verified. A return code of 202 means that the input address is confirmed for all components except for the secondary number. A return code of 10 means that the address could not be found or verified.

If you have Canadian addresses with missing zip codes, PAV can append the zip code of the address as long as the Canadian province name has been abbreviated at input. Please see image below for an example.

We will use the address 75 University Ave West, Waterloo, ON to emphasize PAV’s ability to append a missing zip code.

Address input with missing zip code:

Address output with appended zip code:

As you can see, the correct zip code has been added and the address yields a return code of 200, meaning that the address is verified.  The address is now prepared for optimum delivery as suggested by the Canada Post with the output address properly parsed in upper case fonts and the zip code separated after the first three characters.

Phone Notify! Operations Used

• NotifyPhoneAdvanced
• SetIncomingCallScript
• CancelConference

Step 1: Consuming Phone Notify! Web Service

• Open a new or existing project in Visual Studio 2010
• From the top tool bar, go to Project>Add Service Reference, which will open up the following screen:

• Click on the Advanced button in the lower left-hand corner, which will open up another screen:

• Click on the Add Web Reference button, which will open up a third screen:

• Add the Phone Notify WSDL URL: http://ws.cdyne.com/NotifyWS/PhoneNotify.asmx?wsdl to the URL box, and click on the green arrow. This will pull up the Phone Notify! Web Service Description as shown in the next screen:
• Name the web reference. In this case, we named it WSDL. Then click the Add Reference button.

Step 2: Start Conference

The following example uses the NotifyPhoneAdvanced method to receive an incoming phone call, and the SetIncomingCallScript method to set the call script which will initiate a conference call. A dedicated phone number assigned to your account license key is required to receive phone calls.

The script in the code above uses advanced Notify commands that are available with Phone Notify! API. The following list includes notes on these commands:

~\statuschangepostURL(“User’s specified URL”)~
This posts information about the call to a URL you specify. Using this method is highly suggested if you have a server to postback to on the web. The posturl must be in lower case. In this instance, when an inbound call is placed a conference key is posted to the URL specified here.

~\ActOnDigitPress(false)~ 
Turns off Message Interruption for digit commands (i.e., 1 for repeat). This is useful for a message that, for example, says “enter your zip code” and it won’t jump around in the Dial Plan when the digits are pressed.

~\ClearDTMF()~
Provides a clean slate for Acting on DTMF Commands. This will clear the default of “press 1 to repeat.”

~\Label(MainMenu)~
Sets the label, “MainMenu,” which states in TTS “Thank you for calling CDYNE Corporation. Please choose a selection from one of the following options.”

~\AssignDTMF(1|Join)~
Assigns 1 on the dial pad to go to the label “Join.” In this script, the star (*) is subsequently assigned to the label “MainMenu” and the pound sign (#) is assigned to go to the label “EndCall.”

~\WaitForDTMF(5)~
This function will wait 5 seconds for a DTMF Command ( it accepts only one digit). Make sure that ActOnDigitPress(true) is set (It is true by default).

~\Goto(MainMenu)~
This will go to a label defined by the Label command. In this instance, if the recipient does not press a designated digit within 5 seconds, the Goto command instructs the script to go to the MainMenu.    

~\Label(Join)~
Sets the label, “Join,” which states in TTS “Please wait while you are connected to the conference call.”     

~\Conference()~
Provides a way to conference multiple Notifies together. The first Notify that uses the conference command will return a ConfKey variable (you must use StatusChangePostURL to get it). You can then start other Notifies with the same ConfKey to join the person to the same room using the ~\SetVar(ConfKey|the confkey guid)~ command.  

~\Label(Unavailable)~
 Sets the label, “Unavailable,” which states in TTS “We’re sorry no one is available at this time.”  

~\Label(EndCall)~
Sets the label, “EndCall,” which will end the call.                                                               

Step 3: Add a Caller to Conference

In the example below, an outbound call to an operator or representative is initiated to let them know that the caller in Step 2 is in queue. This is done with the NotifyPhoneAdvanced method. If the operator or representative accepts the call, both calls will be joined in a conference.

~\SetVar(ConfKey|”Conference Key”)~
The conference key is placed here. In most cases the servers handling the process will know to grab the conference key generated and posted to the URL during the phone call in Step 2.

Step 4: Cancel Conference

The CancelConference operation cancels the conference if the inbound call (from Step 2) is not accepted by the operator or representative in Step3. It will play the message, “We’re sorry no one is available at this time.” This is specified in Step 2 to play in the event the conference is cancelled.

At the time of invoicing, Reseller Web Service customers have three ways to view their account usage and totals. The first view is the main invoice which includes the Web Service monthly fee as well as the total monthly transaction fee per Web Service. Here is an example invoice showing a total of 96 SMS transactions:

So how do you find the transaction and price breakdown of each reseller license key? At the bottom of the invoice there is a statement, “For a detailed report:” with a link that follows. Clicking on this link will open up a separate page with two additional reports:  the CDYNE Corporation billing detail report, and a Breakdown of Summary Items report.

The CDYNE Corporation billing detail report shows a list of each license key under the parent account. It also shows the transactions per key, as well as the total transaction charge per key. Below is an example that shows five license keys for SMS Notify! The first license key ending in “3abc4d” had 25 transactions for a total of 25 cents.

The Breakdown of Summary Items report shows a daily summary of transactions processed per license key. Continuing with the license key ending in “3abc4d,” the report below shows the daily count – starting with 3 transactions on 10/31, and ending with 2 transactions on 11/26.

For more account information, please contact an account representative at 1-800-984-3710, inquire by email, or initiate a chat for more details.

A second option is to order DIDs, which are assigned to your SMS Notify! license key. In this case, you would program with the AdvancedSMSSend method which contains a parameter named AssignedDID to input your assigned dedicated number. When using the AssignedDID parameter, the API will send text messages from the DID entered (as long as the DID is assigned to the account license key).

So should you use shared phone numbers or DIDs, and why? There are three key differences between to consider.

Receive Mobile Originated (MO) or Inbound Messages to Your Application

The main difference between the two options is the ability for your application to receive Mobile Originated (MO) messages, or inbound text messages (initiated by your end users). With a DID, your customers can initiate a text message to your application by sending the message to your assigned phone number. When using SMS Notify! shared  numbers, you cannot receive a MO message sent to the shared phone numbers. You can only send messages outbound from your application – but receiving responses to those messages is included via the MessageID (A unique identifier that matches the initial MessageID from your Outgoing SMS).

Determine Your Throughput Needs

The throughput when using CDYNE SMS Notify! shared phone numbers is 1,500 text messages per minute. With a single DID assigned to your account, the throughput is 10 messages per minute; but you have the ability to purchase additional DIDs in order to increase the throughput.

Can the Sender ID be Dynamic, or Should Messages come From the Same Phone Number?

When using the shared pool of numbers, the sender ID will be randomly generated based on the phone number available to send the text message. With an assigned DID, the sender ID remains the same number each time your application sends a message. If your business requires the stability of sending text messages from a constant number, then using a DID makes sense. If the sender ID is inconsequential, and you don’t need the ability to receive MO messages, using the shared phone numbers may make more sense. The advantage here is cost. DIDs cost $1/month/DID in addition to the $9.99 fee and 1 cent per transaction charge. Using shared numbers does not cost extra.

This tutorial uses  C# in Visual Studio 2010. You can find additional source code examples and download code examples from the Phone Notify! developer’s wiki.

Phone Notify! Operations Used 

• NotifyPhoneBasic
• RecordSoundViaPhoneCall

 Step 1: Consuming Phone Notify! Web Service 

• Open a new or existing project in Visual Studio 2010
• From the top tool bar, go to Project>Add Service Reference, which will open up the following screen:

• Click on the Advanced button in the lower left-hand corner, which will open up another screen:

• Click on the Add Web Reference button, which will open up a third screen:

• Add the Phone Notify WSDL URL: http://ws.cdyne.com/NotifyWS/PhoneNotify.asmx?wsdl to the URL box, and click on the green arrow. This will pull up the Phone Notify! Web Service Description as shown in the next screen:
• Name the web reference. In this case, we named it WSDL. Then click the Add Reference button.

Step 2: Setting Up a Basic Notify

The example below shows the code used to send a Basic Notify using the NotifyPhoneBasic method.

A few notes about using the NotifyPhoneBasic method:

• This method will call any phone number in the US/Canada and read the TextToSay to that phone number
• PhoneNumberToDial and CallerID must be filled in (they can be in any format as long as there is 10 digits)

When the program below is run with a license key, CDYNE Corporation will call 3215554757 with a text to speech message stating, “John Williams has an appointment with Dr. Smith on Tuesday, May 13 at 3pm.” The strings written in red in the screenshot is made up of the following components:

• Phone number to dial – “3215554757″
• Script -  “John Williams has an appointment with Dr. Smith on Tuesday, May 13 at 3pm.”
• Caller ID - “7575449510″
• Caller ID Name - “CDYNE Corporation.”
• Voice ID - “4″
• License Key – this is required to send or receive phone calls with Phone Notify! Web Service.

This notify uses voice ID 4, named Callie, and represents a US English female voice, age 30.You can invoke all voices available with Phone Notify! with the getVoices method. You may also listen to the voices at http://cepstral.com/demos/. Please note that the Cepstral website may contain voices not currently available with the Phone Notify! Web Service.

WSDL.PhoneNotify pn = new WSDL.PhoneNotify();

            WSDL.NotifyReturn nr = pn.NotifyPhoneBasic(“3215554757″,

            “John Williams has an appointment with Dr. Smith on Tuesday, May 13 at 3pm.”,

           ”17575449510″, “CDYNE Corporation”, “4″, “LicenseKey”);

Step 3: Request a Phone Call to Record a Sound File

One way to make automated phone reminders more personal is to use a recorded voice. Although text to speech can be very useful in some applications, it is a mechanical and impersonal sounding messaging tool for some customer interactions. In this step, we will use the RecordSoundViaPhoneCall method to call a designated phone number and record a sound file. The sound file recording states, “has an appointment with Dr. Smith on,” and leaves out the customer’s name, and the date and time of the appointment. These three values will remain as text to speech when we put the script together in Step 4.

A few notes about the RecordSoundViaPhoneCall method:

• SoundfileIDs can only be lowercase and contain normal file characters
• The CallerIDName will be the SoundFileID
• The CallerID will be an 800 or 866 number

When this program is run with a license key, the phone number designated in the code (3215554757) will receive a phone call with instructions to record sound file “smith1.” Once recorded, the file will play back and the user has the option to accept or rerecord the message. We’ll access this file in the next step.

WSDL.PhoneNotify pn = new WSDL.PhoneNotify();

            WSDL.RecordSoundViaPhoneCall(“3215554757″, “smith1″, “LicenseKey”);

Step 4: Putting Together the Script

In the final step, we’ll use the NotifyPhoneBasic method to combine the text to speech and recorded file, which we named smith1.

When the program below is run with a license key, CDYNE Corporation will call 3215554757 with a recorded message combined with text to speech variables. The variables include, “John Williams” and “Tuesday, May 13 at 3pm.”

WSDL.PhoneNotify pn = new WSDL.PhoneNotify();

            WSDL.NotifyReturn nr = WSDL.NotifyPhoneBasic(“3215554757″,

            “John Williams ~^smith1~ Tuesday, May 13 at 3pm.”,

            “17575449510″, “CDYNE Corporation”, “4″, ” LicenseKey”);

For example, inputting the address “2125 smith ave, chesapeake, va” will return the following mailing industry values:

• DpvConfirmationIndicator: D
• DpvFootnote1: AA
• DpvFootnote2: N1

Comparing D AA N1 to the chart below may prompt a suggested interaction of, “Verify secondary information, it is not present.” In other words, the suite number is missing. Depending on the data entry scenario, you can generate an error pop-up to ask for the secondary address information, or flag the address for future processing or validation.
