Abstract

A system and method for automated call analysis using context specific lexicons. A system includes memory and a processor configured to executed instructions. The system includes a recording component, a lexicon component, an analysis component, and a display component. The lexicon component defines a plurality of context specific lexicons, with each context specific lexicon having elements associated with one of a plurality of unique conversation segments. The analysis component configured to identify elements of the context specific lexicons, and associate each identified element with a time location in a telephonic conversation. The display component configured to graphically present a multi-line graph such that the intersections of the lines indicate transitions between the unique conversation segments.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a memory to store instructions;

a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that executes or facilitates execution of the instructions, the instructions comprising;

a recording component configured to record a plurality of telephonic conversations between a plurality of first conversation participants and a plurality of second conversation participants;

a lexicon component that defines a plurality of context specific lexicons, wherein each of the plurality of context specific lexicons includes elements associated with one of a plurality of unique conversation segments;

an analysis component configured to perform automatic speech recognition on the telephonic conversation to identify elements of the context specific lexicons, the analysis component further configured to associate each identified element with a time location within the telephonic conversation at which the element occurred;

the analysis component further configured to determine a frequency of occurrence of the elements of each context specific lexicon associated with the corresponding unique conversation segment to identify transitions between the unique conversation segments; and

a scoring component configured to determine a duration of each unique conversation segment based on the identified transitions between the unique conversation segments based on the frequencies of occurrence of the elements of the context specific lexicons associated with the corresponding unique conversation segments;

the scoring component further configured to automatically calculate at least one key performance indicator (KPI) associated with a quality factor of the plurality of telephonic conversations based on the determined duration of each unique conversation segment; and

a display component configured to display the at least one KPI to allow a person to review the at least one KPI to determine if one or more of the plurality of first conversation participants involved in the at least one conversation requires further training to improve a handling of the plurality of telephonic conversations.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of telephonic conversations includes a plurality of different conversations conducted by a plurality of different call center agents.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the system is further configured to sort and display the at least one KPI based on at least one of the group of:

agent supervisor, agent manager, and individual agent.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the at least one KPI includes at least one first KPI of a first call center and at least one second KPI of a second call center and, wherein the system is further configured to display the at least one first KPI and the at least one second KPI beside each other to compare the first call center with respect to the second call center.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is further configured to receive a start date and an end date from a graphical user interface, and wherein the display component is further configured to display an average value of the at least one KPI based, at least in part, on the start date and an end date.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the system is further configured to display the at least one KPI in a selected statistics area of a display, and wherein the system is further configured to display the at least one KPI in a rolling day statistics area of the display based on a rolling number of days that is different than a number of days from the start date and an end date.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the system is further configured to provide an indicator near each of the at least one KPI in the rolling day statistics area of the display to indicate if each of the at least one KPI is improving or not improving based on the at least one KPI in the rolling day statistics area.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the system is configured to display a green “

plus”

sign indicator when one of the at least one KPI is improving and is configured to display a red “

minus”

sign indicator when one of the at least one KPI is not improving.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein the system is further configured to display the at least one KPI in a rolling day statistics area of the display based on a rolling number of days that is between five days and 15 days.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is associated with a call center and the at least one KPI is a tag associated with a competitor'"'"'s name of the call center, and wherein the system is configured to display the tag associated with a competitor'"'"'s name based, at least in part, a number of times the tag associated with a competitor'"'"'s name is mentioned over a period of time.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is adapted to be used to analyze the plurality of telephonic conversations at a call center, and wherein the at least one KPI is one or more tag terms indicating one party of the plurality of telephonic conversations is mentioning a product of a competitor of the call center.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is configured to sort the at least one KPI according to a first KPI and a different second KPI and to graphically display the at least one KPI based, at least in part, on the sorted first and second KPI.

13. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to sort the at least one KPI according to a first KPI and a geographical area the plurality of telephonic conversations occurred at and to graphically display the at least one KPI based, at least in part, on the first KPI and the geographical area.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one KPI is associated with an individual agent conducting at least one of the plurality of telephonic conversations, wherein the system is configured to assign a letter grade to one or more of the at least one KPIs, and wherein the system is further configured to graphically display the at least one KPI based, at least in part, on the one or more letter grades.

15. The system of claim 1 wherein the system is configured to sort the at least one KPI according to a first KPI and a call type and to graphically display the at least KPI based, at least in part, on the first KPI and a call type.

16. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one KPI is one or more of the group of:

first call resolution (FCR), average handle time (AHT), customer satisfaction (CSAT), after call work (ACW), compliance (Comp %), quality assurance (QA), and productivity, wherein Comp % is a percent of time an employee worked their schedule, and QA is a manually created quality checklist for checking that an agent used a customer'"'"'s last name, verifies the customer'"'"'s identity, and says please and thank you.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of telephonic conversations are customer interactions with a call center.
