Speech analytics can be used in a contact center to identify a large vocabulary of words, analyze tone of voice, identify relevant phrases, and even calculate an individual’s age. As a result, this information can be analyzed to provide insight into agent performance, customer behavior, the customer purchase journey, and service and product issues. Contact centers aren’t the only places where solutions and improvements can be implemented.
