Working with interactions

Use the interaction transcript to gain insight about specific characteristics associated with the interaction.

Interactions provide important insights into agent/customer communication. Such insights ultimately suggest how agent/customer communication might be improved to effect better interaction outcomes. With interaction transcripts, visualization of who spoke what word, pinpointing related words, and the ability to leave comments, Interactions provide information that might otherwise be overlooked.

Interaction transcript

If Speech Analytics is enabled, interaction transcripts are available.

When working with transcripts you can:

View an interaction's transcript

  1. Select Explore > Search.
  2. Playback an interaction.
  3. Click the Transcript icon Content panel.png to view the interaction transcript.

Search an interaction's transcript

  1. Select Explore > Search.
  2. Playback an interaction.
  3. Click the Transcript icon Content panel.png to view the interaction transcript.
  4. In the top right corner of the transcript click the Search icon Search2.pngand in the field that appears type the letter, word, and/or phrase you are searching for. The specific letter, word and/or phrase will be highlighted in the transcript if found.

View the spoken word within the transcript

  • When you play back an interaction, the current playback location in the transcript is indicated by a line beneath the word being spoken.
  • Once a word is played back, its color changes from gray to black and the typeface of the text reflects the confidence of the transcription: the darker the text, the higher its accuracy.

View an interaction's events

  • The locations of Events are indicated in the transcript by numbered Event icons Event icon new.png.
  • To view an event, refer to the right side of the Transcript page. The right side of the Transcript page contains a list of all the comments and events in the interaction.
  • The numbers match the event numbers that appear in the Events list on the right side of the page.

For details, see Interaction events.

Edit, show or hide comments added by SpeechMiner users

View a comment:

  • Hover over the Comments icon Comment.png. A tip appears with the comment.
  • Refer to the right side of the Transcript page. The right side of the Transcript page contains a list of all the comments and events in the interaction.

Edit a comment:

  • Click the Comment icon. An Edit Comment window opens.

For details, see Interaction comments.

View related words for a selected term

  1. Place your mouse cursor on the term/phrase and double-click. A pop-up menu appears.
  2. Select Related Words. The related words results are opened in a new window.

For details, see Related words.

View who is talking (agent or customer)

  • When your system employs multiple audio channels, the speakers are identified in the transcript and the transcript includes information about when the agent is talking and when the customer is talking.

If your system employs multiple audio channels, the speakers are identified in the transcript, and the text is color-coded to match the speakers.

Export interaction's transcript

Transcripts of every interaction is now stored in the database and a database job exports the transcript data of all interactions. The job exports data every day, containing transcripts of interactions processed per day.

Data exported to blob will be in the following format:

TRANSCRIPT_EXPORT_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM.tgz

This file contains transcript data of the interactions corresponding to the previous date mentioned in the folder name.

Follow these steps to fetch the transcript data from blob:

  1. Extract the TRANSCRIPT_EXPORT_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM.tgz file. It contains multiple TRANSCRIPT_EXPORT_N_DATEFORMAT.tgz files. Each TRANSCRIPT_EXPORT_N_DATEFORMAT.tgz file will be in an encrypted format.
  2. Decrypt each TRANSCRIPT_EXPORT_N_DATEFORMAT.tgz file.
  3. Extract the decrypted TRANSCRIPT_EXPORT_N_DATEFORMAT.tgz to fetch the transcript data of the individual interactions. Each TRANSCRIPT_EXPORT_N_DATEFORMAT.tgz file can contain transcript data for up to 10000 interactions.

Interaction comments

Comments enable you to add a remark about a thought you have regarding a specific interaction. 

A comment can be added:

  • At a specific time above the audio wave. When a comment is associated with a specific time in the interaction, it also appears in the transcript at the same time.
  • In the transcript alone.  When a comment is specifically added to the transcript, it is not associated with a specific time in the interaction.
Important
Comments include a timestamp of the time and date the comment was made/last edited.
 

Interaction comments enable you to:

There are three types of comments:

  • Good Goodcomment.png: Indicates a positive comment.
  • Bad Badcomment.png: Indicates a negative comment.
  • Neutral Neutralcomment.png: Indicates an unbiased comment.

Interaction events

An event occurs when Speech Analytics identifies a topic in an interaction. A topic is a collection of phrases that Speech Analytics looks for when analyzing interactions. For example,  if the "can offer you a loan" phrase associated with the Loan Offer topic is identified, the start of the event is "can" and the end of the event is "loan".

Speech Analytics can also identify non-linguistic events. Non-linguistic events are sounds other than speech (for example, a dial tone, silence, music or noise, key press, and so on).

An event (both linguistic and non-linguistic) is indicated by a numbered icon Event icon new.png. Event icons and information about each event appear above the Media Player audio graph and in the Interaction transcript. For more information see Interaction transcript and What is an interaction?. You can view details about each event by placing your mouse over the event icon. In addition, each event has a start time, end time, a name and a type.

With SpeechMiner UI you can:

Non-Linguistic Identification

Non-Linguistic Identification identifies the non-verbal parts of an interaction. For example, silence, busy signal, key presses and caller agitation (tone).

SpeechMiner UI is instructed to automatically identify the following non-linguistic events:

  • Nonlinguistic-agentmusic.png Music - Indicates when music is being played during the interaction. Music generally indicates that the interaction was on hold.
  • Nonlinguistic-crosstalk.png Cross Talk - Indicates when two or more people are talking at the same time.
  • Nonlinguistic-silence.png Silence - Indicates when there is nothing being said or played. SpeechMiner UI will automatically skip over these silences when the interaction is played back.
  • Nonlinguistic-DTMF.png DTMF - Key press on a touch-tone phone. 12 different keys can be identified using DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency).
  • Nonlinguistic-agentbusy.png Agent Busy - A busy signal.
  • Nonlinguistic-agentunknown.png Agent Unknown - A dial tone.
  • Nonlinguistic-ringback.png Ringback - A signal used in PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Networks - standard "land lines") to indicate that the line is being called or an incoming interaction is present.
  • Nonlinguistic-aftercallwork.png After call work - Indicates the section of the recording that takes place after the interaction has ended.
