  • Patent number: 10469623
    Abstract: A system and method for multi-language phrase identification within spoken interaction audio capable of adjusting for regional pronunciation (accents), cadence differences, and homologs. In this system, a spoken interaction audio data store supplies spoken audio data such as contact center call recordings to be analyzed for a specific phrase or set of phrases. Phrases are entered as natural language text and converted to the phonemes representative of the phrase audio using the invention's language packs and stored in a data store. Spoken interaction and phrase audio are converted to a digital format allowing comparison using multiple characteristics. Phrase matches are stored for subsequent post analysis display and analytics generation.

  • Patent number: 10440115
    Abstract: A method includes generating, by a computing device, a write intent message regarding a data object that is to be written into storage units as sets of encoded data slices. The method further includes initiating, by the computing device, a write operation for storing the sets of encoded data slices. Prior to the write operation being completed, the method further includes updating, by the computing device, the write intent message to indicate progression of the write operation. The method further includes analyzing, by a second computing device, the write intent message to determine whether the write operation has stalled. When the write operation has stalled, the method further includes identifying, by the second computing device, sets of encoded data slices that have been successfully stored. The method further includes implementing, by the second computing device, a clean-up process for the stored sets of encoded data slices.
