Speech analytics

Harness the power of speech analytics

The CallMiner Eureka conversation analytics platform provides text and speech analytics to help you capture, analyze, and understand the voice of your customers.

The many benefits of speech analytics

While speech analytics may be unfamiliar to most customer experience (CX) professionals, this powerful technology offers extraordinary benefits. Superior speech analytics solutions deliver a rich source of detail about the customer experience that can’t be found elsewhere.

Speech analytics solutions target the myriad of conversations that customers have with your contact center agents. These calls are filled with unsolicited information that can be analyzed to provide unprecedented insight into the mindset of your customers.

Speech analytics can help you interpret the voice of the customers as they express what’s driving their wants, behavior, and emotions. You’ll perceive their likes and dislikes, their issues with your company, and their impressions of your competitors. You will also get a clear view of the voice of your employees, so you can learn how your agents’ interactions are moving the CX needle.

The CallMiner Eureka conversation analytics platform offers AI-powered speech analytics technology that can help you pinpoint the most impactful drivers of satisfaction and loyalty and highlight ways to improve the customer experience.

How speech analytics works

Speech analytics converts conversations to structured data that can be analyzed to produce actionable intelligence. This process involves five steps:

  1. Acquisition. Speech analytics solutions capture audio interactions via a contact center voice recording system. (Omnichannel conversation analytics also capture email, chat, website, and social media messages for text-based analysis.)

  2. Transcription and acoustics measurement. With the help of AI-powered processes, the conversation between customers and agents is transcribed, and acoustic measurements are taken to provide insight into the emotion of the speaker.

  3. Classification. Semi-supervised classification driven by machine learning derives the meaning of speech from words, phrases, and acoustics that reveal inflection and emotion.

  4. Scoring. Weighted, rules-based, predictive, and automated scoring converts unstructured speech data into structured intelligence that can be searched and analyzed.

  5. Analysis. Data can then be analyzed, searched, discovered, compared, and reported on to deliver insight into the performance of agents and the experience of customers.
