“As an industry we’re just scratching the surface of how powerful speech analytics can be to all organisations. The voice channel remains the ‘Prestigious’ channel, ideal for ‘moments that matter’ and ‘customers that matter’. However, organisations have very little intelligence on what is being said and how it is being said”, Said Andrew White – CEO of Contexta360. “I am fortunate to be working with some of the best speech scientists, A.I, developers and NLP PhDs on the planet. This is what makes us unique. There are lots of companies that do speech to text, but that is just 5% of the journey. Real insight comes from understanding, a new level in speech quality and a flexible approach to customer engagement”, White concludes.
