Speech analytics companies process and analyse recorded speech audio, to extract the information buried in it. Speech analytics is most often used by customer contact centers, but also has applications in areas such as law enforcement and healthcare amongst others.
Speech analytics can be used to identify the topic being discussed, the emotional character of the speech, how much each participant speaks, the gender of the speakers, and much more besides.
Speech analytics has a wide range of applications, such as identifying cost drivers, customer trends, and the strengths and weaknesses of products and processes, as well as employee monitoring, fraud detection, and regulatory compliance.
