Calls remain the most human and direct communication channel between companies and customers. Each call contains valuable information, from urgent needs to the emotions that accompany the conversation. However, this information can be lost if we don’t transform it into accessible data. Thanks to artificial intelligence, switchboards like Megacall’s can convert phone conversations into text.

What is AI-powered call transcription?

Call transcription converts a phone conversation into text, so what used to remain only as an audio recording is now transformed into a document for analysis. But how is this achieved?

This is made possible thanks to artificial intelligence, which relies on automatic speech recognition technologies that enable calls to be transcribed automatically and in real time. Moreover, through AI, it is possible to distinguish voices, recognize intonations, and continuously learn from each conversation to improve transcription accuracy.

How does call transcription work?

Call transcription begins the moment the audio of the conversation is captured. Through voice recognition and language processing, a fully readable text is generated in a document that can then be analyzed to extract valuable business insights.

It’s also important to highlight the voice analytics tool, as it’s closely related. With it, you can analyze call transcriptions and make the most of conversation content; conducting service quality audits, detecting agent behaviors, identifying patterns, or even improving the company’s sales approach.

Advantages of transcribing a phone call with the Megacall switchboard.

Transcribing calls with Megacall’s virtual switchboard eliminates the need for manual processes while improving accuracy and organization.

One of the key advantages is the immediate availability of information. Transcriptions can be obtained directly from audio recordings through the virtual switchboard, where you can simply search for a keyword within the text to find exactly what you’re looking for in the conversation.

It’s also worth noting that Megacall’s speech recognition tool uses artificial intelligence capable of adapting to the intonations and tones of the conversation, ensuring that the call transcription is an accurate and faithful record of the actual dialogue.

We’ve mentioned both call transcription and speech recognition, which are closely connected, but it’s also important to highlight the value of the voice analytics tool. These three functions complement each other: with voice recognition, we obtain call transcriptions, which are then analyzed within the switchboard.

With Megacall’s voice analytics, we can detect best practices in customer service, identify agents who need support, ensure compliance with regulations, and analyze patterns and trends that would otherwise go unnoticed, all thanks to the call transcriptions generated from audio recordings.
