  • Patent number: 11909789
    Abstract: To enable clients to self-manage service issues for conferences on a bridge operated by a conference provider, there is provided a web based interface. Companies are provisioned in a client database as receiving client managed conference services instead of provider managed conference services. Users of the company or client of the Provider may log in to a web interface through a company or client specific URL and be presented with an interface that enables the user to view and perform management functions for conferences on a bridge that relate to that user only.

  • Patent number: 11875132
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of transferring a copy of a plurality of revised translation data sets to be added to an IVR application into a grid structure, each revised translation data set comprising a prompt name in a first field, an IVR prompt in a second field, a translation of the IVR prompt into a different language in a third field, and a timestamp in a fourth field, executing, via a processor, an accuracy validation on the plurality of revised translation data sets, wherein, for each revised translation data set, the processor identifies whether a respective translation in a different language in a third field is an accurate translation of a respective IVR prompt in a second field based on attributes of the respective translation and the respective IVR prompt, and displaying results of the accuracy validation via a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20230388417
    Abstract: The location of voice prompts within a call waveform is usually conducted by match filtering a snippet of the prompt (approx. 800 ms) to the call waveform. In an enhanced process that can accommodate transmission errors when detecting voice prompts on lower quality transmission lines, a snippet of a voice prompt may be divided into sniplets, typically 100 ms long. The sniplets can be individually detected. If a sufficient number of sniplets are detected within allowed time tolerances, then this subset of detected sniplets can indicate the presence of the snippet, and thus the associated voice prompt.

  • Patent number: 11825025
    Abstract: Prompt snippets (typically 800 ms long) that are used to detect voice prompts within a call waveform may be divided into smaller sniplet portions (approx. 100 ms) long. The presence of a prompt in a call waveform may be detected by detecting the sniplets and determining if a sufficient number of the sniplets of a snippet were detected in sequence and within allowable time constraints. The use of sniplets improves accuracy of prompt detection in call waveforms in lower quality transmissions.
