Learn to configure Internet Explorer or Google Chrome to enable you to access the SpeechMiner UI.

SpeechMiner end users access the SpeechMiner browser-based interface from Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. The selected browser connects to the SpeechMiner Web server through the local network.

In order for the SpeechMiner interface to work properly, you must configure your browser as explained in the relevant section below:

Performing the required configuration enables:

  • The use of pop-ups from the SpeechMiner Domain.
  • Treating the SpeechMiner domain as part of the local intranet (or as a trusted site).
  • Automatic updating of cached web pages.
Important
To run SpeechMiner 8.5.5, you must use a minimum resolution of 1280X1024. Genesys recommends that you work with a 1680X1050 resolution.

Configure Internet Explorer to work with SpeechMiner

Perform the following steps to configure Internet Explorer to work with SpeechMiner:

Important
  • If Internet Explorer is running on a Windows Server 2008 machine or Windows Server 2012 machine, the Enhanced Security Configuration feature should be turned off. Refer to the Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012 section below.
  • When working with Internet Explorer 11+, the Online Help documentation may not appear as it should due to your Internet Explorer compatibility view settings. To view the Online Help properly, go to the Tools menu, select Compatibility View Settings and verify that Display intranet sites in Compatibility View is not checked.
  • When you playback an interaction in an Internet Explorer environment, the Playback button does not appear after you play the specific interaction for the first time. The Playback button reappears after you close the specific interaction and reopen it.

    Important
    When working with Internet Explorer 11+, the Online Help documentation may not appear as it should. To view the Online Help properly, you must enable Active Scripting in the Internet Options > Security > Custom Level window.
