Abstract

An automated method for determining user satisfaction with a call comprising (1) maintaining a count of the number of times a user was asked for input during the call (the “actual count”), (2) maintaining a count of the number of times a user should have been asked for input based on the dialog path the user traversed (the “ideal count”), and (3) associating no difference between the actual count and the ideal count with maximum user satisfaction and associating increasing differences between the counts with decreasing user satisfaction. In one embodiment, if the difference between the actual count and ideal count reaches a certain threshold, the call system changes the interaction with the user.
