Vi Call Summary

A key responsibility of managers is evaluating and providing feedback to their team members on their performance. Finding specific coachable moments within a call can be time-consuming, but with the Vi Call Summary, managers can easily find those moments on users' calls.

Information & Controls (Title Bar)

In the title bar, the Vi Call Summary displays basic information related to the call as well as access to additional controls.

You'll see the contact's name or entire number, the call date and time, and the duration of the call.

Here are the controls available in the Vi Call Summary:

Search: Find words or phrases in the transcript
Show Comments: Add and view comments between team members using @mentions to tag
- @mentions auto-suggest people within the entire company
- Recipients receive an email and a message from Dialbot with a link to the call review; if a recipient doesn't already have access to the call review, the @mention will grant them access until the comment is removed
Add to Playlist: Store the call alongside others similar to it in a playlist
Download Data: Get a URL to copy/paste or download a CSV file containing the transcript
Share: Create a link sharing the entire Vi Call Summary or only a portion of it
- Security options exist to limit the call review's link to anyone with the URL or only team members logged in to Dialpad; there's also an option to revoke all links shared previously

To the left of the Vi Call Summary, you'll see all of the Moments that occurred on a call. Clicking on a particular Moment will expose the portions of the call that represent those Moments.

You can see where in the transcript those Moments occurred, as well as the specific excerpts of the call for those moments.

Real-time assist cards that were activated will appear here, too, if the feature is enabled.

Moments Definitions

Call Recording Notification - the agent notifies the customer that the call is being recorded
Competitor (available only to Dialpad Sell customers) - a customer mentions a competitor defined in your company dictionary
Currency - the customer or agent mentions a dollar amount or an amount in another currency; example: “That costs $100”
Date - the customer or agent mentions a specific date; example: “Let’s meet December 10, 2020”
Email Address - when anyone mentions an email address
Interesting Question - any interesting question asked on a call; example: “Can we meet tomorrow at 4:00?”
Purpose of Call (available only to Dialpad Talk and Dialpad Contact Center customers) - the caller states why they are calling; example: "I'm calling today to see if I can get my windows washed"
Manager Attention - a customer becomes so upset on a call that the Call Center supervisor should consider intervening

We'll update this list as new moments are introduced to Dialpad and Voice Intelligence.

Call Highlights

Find out if there are any Call Highlights to observe without exiting the Dialpad app.

View the conversation thread after a call, and it will either display a portion of the transcript or Call Highlights including any action items and, for Call Centers, the purpose of the call.

Select View Call Details or View All Action Items, then the Vi Call Summary launches in a new window.

If Voice Intelligence did not assign an action item and only reveals who triggered it, you're able to assign the action item from the call review. Anyone who is assigned an action item will receive an email and Dialbot alert.

You're also able to edit, delete, and add action items.

Transcript & Recording (Middle)

Front and center in the Vi Call Summary is the transcript, which includes the full transcript as well as a tab for Moments-based excerpts.

You can also listen to the audio from a call if it was recorded. Select Show Callers if you'd like to see when during a call that people spoke.

We also recommend rating the Vi Call Summary for punctuation and capitalization accuracy; the ability to rate appears at the bottom of the screen each time a call review opens.
