    摘要: Various embodiments of the invention provide a tool for reviewing the content of communications conducted between parties. A communication is analyzed between a first and second party to determine the words present. A set of keywords are developed that represent a subset of the words determined to be present in the communication. Occurrences of the keywords in the communication are mapped to times at which they occur. An interface is provided to a user that displays a representation of the communication comprising an identifier, such as an icon, representing a particular occurrence of a keyword with respect to a timeline. The user can search, locate and review a corresponding portion of audio containing the occurrence of the keyword. This may involve playing the corresponding portion of the audio containing the occurrence of the keyword and/or displaying the corresponding portion of a transcript of the audio portion.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the invention provide methods, systems, and computer-program products for pacing outbound calls placed by a predictive dialer in a contact center. Specifically, an ensemble made up of a global predictive model and a local predictive model is applied to each dialing record found in a plurality of dialing records to provide a probability of an outbound call placed to the dialing record resulting in a live connect. Accordingly, a call pacing hit ratio can then be calculated based on the probability for each of the dialing records and this call pacing hit ratio can be used by a predictive dialer in various embodiments to more accurately pace the placing of outbound calls then by using conventionally derived call pacing hit ratios.

    摘要: A real-time speech analytics system (“RSTA system”) detects a speech condition during a call involving a contact center agent and a remote party. Upon detecting the speech condition, an alert message is provided to an alert reporting module (“ARM”), which is configured to access various data to form a RTSA alert. In one embodiment, the RTSA alert is a transient alert indication overlaid on an agent icon on a grid where the agent icon represents the agent and is displayed to a contact center supervisor. Information on the type and severity of the alert may be conveyed by text and non-text images, such as icons, colors, or symbols. A number representing a cumulative number of alert messages received for each agent may be indicated in an alert bubble overlaid on the agent icon. A viewer is able to request detailed alert data upon selecting the alert bubble.

    摘要: A call center compliance system is used to ensure that agents adhere to call center policies and applicable regulations when handling calls. A call handler processing a call between an agent and a remote party bridges on a speech analytics component. A keyword set is used by the speech analytics component to analyze the remote party's or the agent's speech. If a keyword is detected, an event notification is provided from the speech analytics component to the call handler. A logic script executing in the call handler defines what actions are to occur in response to receiving the event notification. The call handler can provide information to the agent, record a violation, or await further event notifications. In one embodiment, detection of a first keyword in a first keyword set spoken by a remote party causes the agent's speech to be monitored using a second keyword set.

    摘要: A dialer is configured to connect an agent to a call upon answer and present information to a computer workstation used by the agent as to whether the call was answered by a live person or an automatic call answering device (“ACAD”). An agent override timer is started allowing the agent to override the determination of whether a live person or ACAD answered the call. If an ACAD is reported to have answered the call and the agent does not provide an override indication or provides an override indication after the expiry of the agent override timer, then the agent may be disconnected from the call. If an agent override indication is received prior to the expiry of the agent override timer, then the agent is not disconnected from the call. This allows the agent to override an incorrect determination by the dialer as to an ACAD answering the call.
