Introduction
Quality control and compliance are now crucial components of contact centre setups. This increasing demand can be met via call recordings that can be afterwards reviewed and assessed with the aid of speech analysis in order to ascertain whether agents are adhering to call flows, developing rapport, proposing cross-sell products, regulating the call, delivering accurate information, etc. Additionally, they are utilised for teaching sessions and the quality rating of an agent's performance. Call recordings provide a direct, unbiased record of the client experience, making them a valuable source of data that can be utilised to optimise operations and the quality of services offered.
Types of Recordings
Mono Standard recording (8 kbps)
Mono High Quality recording (32 kbps)
Stereo Standard recording (12 kbps per channel i.e. 24 kbps)
