A system, method, and computer readable medium for confirmation and
verification of shipping address data associated with a transaction. The
invention provides a method of verifying first and at least second
shipping address information associated with transactions conducted over
a telecommunications network. The first and second shipping address
information can be stored respectively in a first format and a second
format, such as respective speech and text formats. The method functions
by accessing address information pertaining to a specific transaction by
extracting the respective address information as stored in both formats.
The address information is then compared to each other to ensure that
they are consistent. If the address information as stored in the two
respective formats are sufficiently inconsistent, the underlying
transaction may be dispositioned in various ways according to the
difference.
