# Speech Analytics overview

**Who should read this article**: Administrators, Supervisors

Use AI to analyze call recordings, generate transcripts, and extract insights such as keywords, topics, and conversation scores.

Important

Speech Analytics is available for contact centers on the Pro plan or higher.

## What is Speech Analytics?

Voiso Speech Analytics uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to process and analyze call recordings.

It converts audio into text and enriches it with structured insights that help you monitor quality, compliance, and customer interactions.

## How Speech Analytics data is generated

Speech Analytics works as a two-step process:

- **Agents** handle calls, which are recorded and processed
- **Supervisors**, **Analysts**, **Admins**, and custom roles review transcripts, analytics, and reports

For Speech Analytics to work correctly, you must first enable the feature in your contact center, then configure each role. Refer to the following articles for details:

- If you **are using security access groups**, see: [Configuration for Security Access Groups](/v1/docs/configure-speech-analytics-security-access-groups)
- If you are **not using security access groups**, see: [Configuration for Basic users](/v1/docs/configure-speech-analytics-basic-users)

## What you can do with Speech Analytics

Speech Analytics powers several features across the platform:

- [Keyword compliance](/v1/docs/keyword-compliance) Track whether specific words or phrases are used during calls.
- [Conversation scoring](/v1/docs/conversation-scoring) Evaluate calls using automated scoring models.
- [Topic identification](/v1/docs/topics) Identify common themes and subjects in conversations.

The Voiso Speech Recognition engine supports the following languages:

- Arabic
- Dutch
- English
- French
- German
- Hindi
- Italian
- Japanese
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Spanish
- Turkish

## How it works

Once enabled, Speech Analytics:

- Transcribes call recordings into text
- Detects the language automatically or uses a predefined language
- Applies keyword matching, topic detection, and scoring
- Stores results in Call Detail Records for review and reporting

## Where to view results

You can access Speech Analytics data in:

- Call Detail Records (CDR)
- Call transcription view
- Reports and analytics dashboards

## Use Case: Call transcript review

Reviewing call recordings to ensure compliance with your organization's standards is time-consuming for supervisors. With the transcripts produced by the **Keywords** and **Speech analytics** features, supervisors can quickly review the content of a call recording without spending time listening to the audio.

The [Extended Call Details](/v1/docs/cdr-search-results) record for each analyzed call recording includes the transcript with highlighted keywords and a table displaying the count of keywords, the group they belong to, and the person who said the keywords.

Transcripts enable Supervisors to review conversations quickly, and the highlighted content permits supervisors to focus on the crucial quality elements, ensuring that calls are handled correctly.

          Tip

          

You can specify the minimum call duration for transcription by setting the **Transcribe calls with talk time over x sec** option in the **[Speech analytics](/v1/docs/administration-system-settings#speech-analytics)** section of the **System settings** page.

#### Filtering by keyword

Use the **Keyword** filter in the **Call Detail Records** page to search for interactions where that keyword or keywords occur in the transcript.

#### Call transcript

The **Call transcription** panel is displayed at the bottom of an extended call detail record page after the audio clip. Use the **Search** field to find specific words and phrases in the transcript.

![Keyword Groups Highlighted Keywords](https://cdn.document360.io/44ae307a-3737-4fbf-98e0-9b888deb90dc/Images/Documentation/Keyword%20Groups%20Highlighted%20Keywords.png)

The transcript includes timestamps for each spoken part. Click the timestamp to go directly to that part in the recording to hear the speech in context.

You can replicate call transcripts to your Amazon S3 bucket for use outside of Voiso. Refer to [Call Recordings Replication to S3](https://developers.voiso.com/#/rest/amazon-integrations/call-recordings-replication-to-s3) for information about setting up this feature.

Important

Transcripts uploaded to AWS S3 do not include any analysis data. Only the raw transcript is uploaded. To leverage the analysis capabilities, use the CDR **Call transcription** feature transcription and table views.

### Automatic transcript translation

Users with CDR access granted, typically [Supervisors and Analysts](/v1/docs/basic-user-roles), can select their preferred transcript language. Refer to [User Profile](/v1/docs/supervisor-user-profile) in the [Supervisor Guide](/v1/docs/supervisor-workflows) for information about enabling this feature and selected languages you want to translate to your preferred language.

          Important

          

- There might be a delay of up to 10 hours before changes to your Account Settings takes effect.
- Auto-translation might not work on existing calls, only new calls, unless other users in your contact center have already had the particular translation combination already implemented.

When you choose a language for translation, voice call transcripts are automatically translated into your preferred language from the languages you selected in your User Profile. Voice calls that are not in one of your selected languages are not translated. For example, if you specify that all calls in French or Spanish should be translated into German, then calls in English, Dutch, and other languages will not be translated.

On the [Extended Call Details](/v1/docs/extended-call-details-voice) page, when a transcript has been translated, a notice appears at the top of the transcript. Click **Show original** to view the transcript in its original language.

If you are viewing the original transcript, click **Show in <your preferred language>** to return to the translated transcript.
