Abstract
A system is disclosed that assists contact center agents with servicing customer enquiries. A wireless caller with an enquiry calls a contact center and is prompted to leave a voice message and accept a text callback as a response. The voice message is processed by a speech analytics system that extracts certain keywords in the voice message and develops a transcript as well. Upon selecting an available agent to provide the response, the keywords and transcript are presented to the agent along with a draft text response, formulated by the system using the identified keywords. Additional resources may be provided as necessary to the agent, who can also review the original audio recording. Upon reviewing and potentially editing the text response, the agent causes the text to be sent to the wireless caller, which may be sent as an SMS text, or in some other form.
