INTRODUCTION

Speech analytics is the process of transcribing an audio recording and analyzing the text for business intelligence use.

When an agent and customer are speaking, both sides of the conversation can be analyzed separately to determine various things such as:


MANUAL VS. AUTOMATION

Manual Review:

  • Subjective

  • Limited coverage (approx. 1% of calls)

  • Post-time analysis

  • Time-consuming

Speech Analytics:

  • Objective

  • Complete coverage (100% coverage)

  • Real-time analysis

  • Immediate feedback


WHAT IS POSSIBLE?

  • Call categorization

  • Evaluating agent performance

  • Determining customer experience

  • Assessing training effectiveness

  • Measuring risk

  • Addressing compliance violations

  • Detecting call avoidance

  • Discovering automation opportunities

  • Locating calls for calibration meetings

  • Identifying potential causes of:

    • High customer effort

    • Escalation calls

    • Customer confusion and frustration


LIMITATIONS

Speech analytics can:

  • Identify words that are said

  • Determine how those words are said

  • Determine when words are not said

  • Calculate silence time

  • Detect overtalk

  • Detect words that are in close proximity with the transcript

  • Enhance analysis with metadata such as:

    • Call direction

    • Wrap-up codes

    • Agent name

Speech analytics cannot:

  • Answer subjective questions

  • Transcribe some company names without going through an extra step

  • Determine which context is important

  • Determine if a response answers a question asked by a speaker

  • Determine if the agent took notes correctly
