The use of speech analytics in call centers is increasing but many people are still wondering whether to use it or not. For those who do not know it yet, speech analytics is nothing more than an automated way of analyzing the content of the calls.
In the case of voice calls, the recordings must be transcribed by a transcription mechanism prior to be converted into text and thus, a computer program, automatic and intelligent enough to search what we want to find out without intervention human, can analyze them.
Different to what many people think, the Speech Analytics is not only used to monitor more calls and get a more accurate quality index. This is not the real benefit of this tool.
With the use of Speech Analytics, organizations can analyze handled calls by finding offending words, synonyms, phrases, sequences, business opportunities, mentions of competitors and brands, specific needs of customers etc.
It can also be analyzed adherence to the scripts, presence or absence of important procedures, such as confirmation of address, social security number etc. It is all a matter of creativity and knowing of how to use the tool, which with its own use, day by day becomes “smarter”.
Compare the use of speech analytics and its business models:
| Monitored by | Methods and Goals |
| People (Quality monitoring team) |
|
| Speech Analytics
(computerized process, |
|
| Hybrid
(process carried out by the quality monitoring team with the support of speech analytics) |
|
It should be noted that computers still cannot replace the analytical capacity of a qualified professional with huge product and business rules knowledge, but it would not be feasible to manually analyze a large volume of handled calls. For this reason, if your need is to analyze a large volume of handled calls (or even 100% of them), the shortcut seems to be Speech Analytics.
The implementation of the hybrid business model is a great solution for organizations that have a large monitoring team and at the same time need to increase the quantity of monitored calls. In this way, more efficiency can be achieved with an equivalent or even less running costs.
