Who it is for
- Contact-centre analysts examining call transcripts.
- Customer-experience and operations teams reviewing conversation patterns and call metrics.

Documented uses
- Identify emotions and empathetic statements in conversations.
- Segment calls and identify topics within call segments.
- Inspect speaker and utterance attributes, including word counts, negations, questions and backchannels.
- Find silence and interruptions and examine response-time or hold-time questions.
- Generate abstractive summaries of transcripts.
