Voice to Text Feedback | Transforming Contact Centers with AI-Powered Sentiment Analysis

Written by Beverley Dormer | 21 August 2023

Barbara Blackburn was a clerical worker and typing virtuoso, who still holds the record for typing after her death in 2008 with 212 words per minute (I’m a paltry 76 by comparison). It's a remarkable feat to consider, especially when the average person's speech clocks in at around 150 words per minute.

Now picture this: What if you could harness the capabilities of a battalion of "Barbaras," attentively listening to the feedback from spoken feedback and voice notes taking place in your contact centre, generating word-perfect transcripts of every interaction? The transformation would be immense.

Welcome to the world of Smoke CI's Voice to Text feature – an innovation that not only streamlines and scales your contact centre feedback programme but also delivers real-time verbatim analysis and elevated sentiment insights for spoken feedback and voice note interaction.

What is Voice-to-Text feedback?

Voice-to-text (or speech-to-text as it’s also known) is a feature that allows you to invite your clients to leave spoken feedback during any survey you present them after a call.  It has been built to be able to recognise syllables and sounds in fractions of fractions of seconds that form words that are then transposed to written record.

What are the limitations of Voice to Text?

It's important to note that Voice-to_text is currently limited to recorded spoken feedback on portions of your customer surveys, not the entire call, there are also two other concerns, namely: 

  1. Lack of accuracy: Voice to Text struggles with accents and can also misunderstand contextual words, for example, their, they’re and there.
  2. Noise interference: We can’t always be in a nice, quiet room for each of our calls, and unfortunately, VTT modules don’t always work well in noisy environments, leading to background voices being transcribed or misunderstood transcriptions.
