Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method for masking special data is provided. Speakers of a call recording are identified. The call recording is separated into strands corresponding to each of the speakers. A prompt list of elements that prompt the speaker of the other strand to utter special information is applied to one of the strands. At least one of the elements of the prompt list is identified in the one strand. A special information candidate is identified in the other strand and is located after a location in time where the element was found in the voice recording of the one strand. A confidence score is assigned to the element located in the one strand and to the special information candidate in the other strand. The confidence scores are combined and a threshold is applied. The special information candidate is rendered unintelligible when the combined confidence scores satisfy the threshold.
Abstract:
A system and method for storing call recordings in a call center is provided. Incoming calls to a call center are monitored. Retention criteria are obtained and ordered by importance. The retention criteria are applied to each of the calls. Those calls that match at least one of the retention criteria are identified. The identified calls that include one of a single highly important criteria and two or more less important criteria are selected for retaining in the call center. Recordings of the selected calls are stored in the call center.
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 processing user communications is provided. Instructions are received within a call center from a user via a vehicle calling system. A determination as to whether the instructions are correctly received is confirmed by processing the instructions, by providing results of the processed instructions to the user, and by receiving confirmation that the results are correct. The instructions are converted from speech to text upon the confirmation and are subsequently provided to an agent. A communication is received from the agent in response to the instructions and the communication is provided to the user via the vehicle calling system.
Abstract:
A system and method for processing calls in a call center are described. A call session from a caller via a session manager and including incoming text messages of a verbal speech stream is assigned. The incoming text messages are progressively visually presented throughout the call session to a live agent on an agent console operatively coupled to the session manager. The incoming text messages are progressively processed through a customer support scenario interactively monitored and controlled by the live agent via the agent console. The incoming text messages are processed through automated script execution in concert with the live agent. Outgoing text messages are converted into a synthesized speech stream. The synthesized speech stream is sent via the agent console to the caller.
Abstract:
A system and method for processing a call between a caller and a live agent is provided. A stream of verbal speech utterances is received from the caller and converted into text. Text messages are received from the agent in response to the stream of verbal speech utterances and converted into synthesized speech utterances. The synthesized speech utterances are provided to the caller. A record of the call is processed and presented to a further live agent for manipulation. The manipulated record is stored.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method for processing user communications is provided. Instructions are received within a call center from a user via a vehicle calling system. A determination as to whether the instructions are correctly received is confirmed by processing the instructions, by providing results of the processed instructions to the user, and by receiving confirmation that the results are correct. The instructions are converted from speech to text upon the confirmation and are subsequently provided to an agent. A communication is received from the agent in response to the instructions and the communication is provided to the user via the vehicle calling system.
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.
