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 computer-implemented system and method for reducing voice transcription error is provided. Audio data is received during a call and parsed into utterances. A transcribed value and confidence score are assigned to each utterance. Those utterances with low confidence scores are identified as questionable utterances. One of the questionable utterances is selected from the audio data and a pool of questionable utterances is formed. The pool includes the selected questionable utterance and other questionable utterances, from other calls, that are similar to the selected questionable utterance. A size threshold is applied to the pool of questionable utterances. All the questionable utterances in the pool are provided to at least one human transcriber when the pool fails to satisfy the size threshold. Further transcribed values are received from the transcriber for each of the questionable utterances in the pool.
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 individual record encryption is provided. A plurality of records associated with incoming calls to a call center are maintained. A unique encryption key is randomly generated for each record. The records are each encrypted using the encryption key generated for that record. The keys are stored in a location separate from the encrypted records.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method for validating call connections is provided. Metadata about a connecting party is collected during a call, wherein the call is received by or initiated by a user. A connection status for the call is verified. The connecting party metadata is compared with connecting party records stored in a database and an attempt to determine an identity of the connecting party is made based on the comparison. A determination as to whether a security certificate is present with the metadata is made. The connection status is determined based on the connecting party identity attempt and the identification of whether the security certificate is present. The determined connection status is provided to the user.
Abstract:
A system and method for performing distributed speech recognition is provided. Audio data is received on a main recognizer and on each of a plurality of secondary recognizers. Secondary grammars are transmitted to each of the secondary recognizers. The secondary recognizers each perform speech recognition on the audio data using the secondary grammar for that secondary recognizer. A new grammar is constructed based on results of the speech recognition by each of the secondary recognizers. The main recognizer performs speech recognition on the audio data using the new grammar.
Abstract:
A system and method for transmitting voice messages to a discussion group is provided. Users signed-on to a voice message server are identified. Each signed-on user is associated with one or more discussion groups and a personal communication device. The voice message server receives a voice message from one of the signed-on users via the personal communication device associated with that signed-on user and a discussion group to which the voice message is to be sent. The voice message from the signed-on user is provided to the other signed-on users in the discussion group.
Abstract:
Portions of a customer interaction recording that include sensitive information can be identified by performing character recognition on the images in the recording. Field identifiers identified through character recognition are compared to a list of known identifiers of fields for entry of sensitive information. Based on the comparison, field identifiers identified through character recognition can be recognized as sensitive information field identifiers. Images that include the sensitive information field identifiers can be blurred in the stored recording. Further, agent behavior in relation to the screens with fields for entry of sensitive information can be analyzed for purposes such as identifying potentially malicious agent behavior, an agent being in need of assistance, or a recurring customer issue.
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 agents.
