Voice and speech recognition for call center feedback and quality assurance

A computer-implemented method for providing an objective evaluation to a customer service representative regarding his performance during an interaction with a customer may include receiving a digitized data stream corresponding to a spoken conversation between a customer and a representative; converting the data stream to a text stream; generating a representative transcript that includes the words from the text stream that are spoken by the representative; comparing the representative transcript with a plurality of positive words and a plurality of negative words; and generating a score that varies according to the occurrence of each word spoken by the representative that matches one of the positive words, and/or the occurrence of each word spoken by the representative that matches one of the negative words. Tone of voice, as well as response time, during the interaction may also be monitored and analyzed to adjust the score, or generate a separate score.

CONTEXTUAL MULTI-CHANNEL SPEECH TO TEXT

A method for improving a transcription may include identifying, in the transcription, reliable channel tokens of an utterance of a reliable channel and an unreliable channel token of an utterance of an unreliable channel, and generating, using a machine learning model, a vector embedding for the unreliable channel token and vector embeddings for the reliable channel tokens. The method may further include calculating vector distances between the vector embedding and the vector embeddings, and generating, for the unreliable channel token and using the vector distances, a score corresponding to a reliable channel token. The method may further include determining that the score is within a threshold score, and in response to determining that the score is within the threshold score, replacing, in the transcription, the unreliable channel token with the reliable channel token.

Automatic cloud capacity adjustment
10873538 · 2020-12-22 · ·

Allocation of resources utilized by a contact center remains a balancing act between the burden of having resources that are generally underutilized and underperforming due to resource constraints. Many contact centers support a variety of communication types (e.g., audio-video, audio, text, email, etc.) associated with a respective communication channel. Communications may be dynamically incentivized or allocated from one communication channel having greater resource demands to another communication channel having lesser resource demands. Additionally, the resources of the contact center may be shared by customers of clients utilizing the contact center. As a result, one customer having a spike in demand may have their, and/or another customer's, communications reallocated to the less demanding channel to manage contact center resource utilization.
