Abstract:
A system and method for identifying special information is provided. Endpoints are defined within a voice recording. One or more of the endpoints are identified within the voice recording and the voice recording is partitioned into segments based on the identified endpoints. Elements of text are identified by applying speech recognition to each of the segments and a list of prompt list candidates are applied to the text elements. The segments with text elements that match one or more prompt list candidates are identified. Portions of the voice recording following the prompt list candidates that include special information are identified and the special information is rendered unintelligible within the voice recording.
Abstract:
A system and method for monitoring customer satisfaction in an ongoing call center interaction is provided. Information about a signal indicating customer dissatisfaction is provided to one or more customers of a call center prior to a start of interactions between one or more agents of the call center and the one or more customers. The interactions are began, including connecting one of the customers to one of the agents by call center after the information is provided. The interactions are monitored for a receipt of the signal from the customer. An action is taken by the call center upon a receipt of the signal.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method for facilitating appointments within a call center is provided. A list of agents within a call center is received from a user. Each agent is associated with a call queue and handles incoming customer calls to the call queue. An availability of each of the agents on the list is determined. One of the agents is selected as a most available agent. The user is provided with records for the most available agent and is automatically connected with the most available agent.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method for processing caller responses is provided. Scripts each including at least one block of dialog are stored. Information is received from a caller during a call with an agent. A selection of a least one of the scripts is received from the agent based on the received information from the caller. The selected script is presented to the caller. A response is received from the caller. A direction of the call is changed. A further selection of one of the scripts is received from the agent based on the response from the caller. The further selected script is presented to the caller.
Abstract:
A system and method for message-based call communication is provided. Speech utterances are obtained from a caller during a call with an agent. Each of the speech utterances are transcribed into a text message and the text messages are provided to the agent. One or more written responses, in reply to each speech utterance from the caller, are received from the agent. The written responses are converted to synthesized speech for providing to the caller. The speech utterances from the caller and the synthesized speech from the agent are processed and one or more characteristics of the caller and the agent are identified. A role for each of the caller and the agent is determined based on the identified characteristics.
Abstract:
A marker is derived from an interaction between a person and an agent of a business and the agent's user interface. A part of a speech signal that corresponds to a portion of the person's special information is located with the marker. The speech signal results from the interaction between the person and the agent. The part of the speech signal that corresponds to the portion of the person's special information is rendered unintelligible.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method for simultaneously processing multiple call sessions is provided. Multiple call sessions assigned to an agent are monitored. Content of each call session is displayed to the agent on an agent console. A script selected by the agent is identified and provided as synthesized speech to a caller of one of the call sessions. A verbal conversation between the agent and a caller of another one of the call sessions is simultaneously monitored while the script is provided to the caller.
Abstract:
A system and method for processing multi-modal communications is provided. A call is received into a call center via a telephone. The call includes an inquiry of incoming speech utterances from a caller. The call is assigned to an agent within the call center. Transcribed text is generated by performing automatic speech recognition on the incoming speech utterances. The transcribed text is displayed to the agent via a display. Text messages from the caller are separately received into the call center via the telephone during the call. The text messages are identified as originating from the caller of the call and displayed to the agent.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method for correlating activity within a user interface with special information is provided. A user interface with data entry fields is provided. One or more of the data entry fields is designated for special information. A first screen shot of the user interface is captured, and a second screen shot of the user interface is captured at a later time. The first and second screen shots are compared. A change comprising at least a portion of an entry within one of the data entry fields for special information in the second screen shot is identified between the first and second screen shots. The entry is rendered unintelligible.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method for providing coaching to agents in a call center during a call is provided. A voice recording is obtained from a call between a caller and an agent of a call center. The voice recording of the caller is analyzed by measuring voice characteristics of the voice recording and by identifying traits of the caller based on the voice characteristics. A stage of persuasion of the caller is identified based on the identified traits in response to an offer provided by the agent. The caller is persuaded to accept the offer by providing guidance to the agent regarding further information about the offer for the user based on the stage of persuasion.
