  • Patent number: 9729717
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using automatic speech recognition to analyze a voice interaction and verify compliance of an agent reading a script to a client during the voice interaction. In one aspect of the invention, a method may include a voice interaction, wherein the agent follows the script via a plurality of panels. The voice interaction is evaluated via the plurality of panels employing panel-by-panel playback with an automatic speech recognition component adapted to analyze the voice interaction. As such, it may be determined, via generating a score using confidence level thresholds of an automatic speech recognition component such that confidence level thresholds are assigned to each of the plurality of panels and evaluating the score against at least one of a static standard and a varying standard, whether the agent has adequately followed the script.

  • Patent number: 9661141
    Abstract: A method, a computer readable medium, and a system for managing agent login to multiple bridges are provided. The method comprises reserving at least one bridge for at least one agent, creating a first queue for the at least one bridge, the first queue comprising the at least one agent, monitoring efficiency of the at least one bridge, determining if a need for a first bridge of the at least one bridge is high, creating a second queue for the first bridge of the at least one bridge if the need for the first bridge of the at least one bridge is high, assigning at least one agent from the first queue to the second queue, and moving the at least one agent up in the second queue.

  • Patent number: 9584664
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium for routing an agent to a preferred communications platform comprises accessing a server comprising a routing strategy, wherein the routing strategy consists of a site value, a project identification value, a project load value, and an attribute value of the agent, and wherein the site value takes precedent over the project identification value which takes precedent over the project load value which takes precedent over the attribute value of the agent, and routing the agent to the preferred environment based on a result of the routing strategy.

  • Patent number: 9299341
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for using automatic speech recognition to analyze a voice interaction and verify compliance of an agent reading a script to a client during the voice interaction. In one aspect of the invention, a communications system includes a user interface, a communications network, and a call center having an automatic speech recognition component. In other aspects of the invention, a script compliance method includes the steps of conducting a voice interaction between an agent and a client and evaluating the voice interaction with an automatic speech recognition component adapted to analyze the voice interaction and determine whether the agent has adequately followed the script. In still other aspects of the invention, respective data for specific interactions, including voice records or panels, transcribed text equivalents to such voice records or panels, and/or script text governing such voice records or panels, can be forwarded to one or more respective clients.
