What is speech analytics? And how can this be valuable to my business? These are common questions - so let’s explore them and try to bring some clarity. Speech Analytics is the process of analysing recorded audio, often used when analysing VoIP calls to help spot trends and patterns within customer interactions. Speech analytics functionality can also be extended across businesses through customer contact channels including social media, email, text and webchat. Zadarma partners with premier speech recognition specialists and provides a top-quality recognition & analytics service with incredible accuracy. There are several key ways that businesses are leveraging the benefits of speech analytics to improve call performance as well as become more efficient. The power of speech analytics can often get overlooked, and it’s worth taking your time to understand its benefits so you don’t miss out on the advantage this functionality offers.
Zadarma's new API method allows companies to verify client phone numbers via a call. This verification is much cheaper than SMS and will suit most websites and apps.
IVR is a technology with advanced capabilities, allowing a computer to interact with humans through voice or keypad tones. IVR systems can respond with pre-recorded audio to direct users. This technology has significant benefits. When deployed in the network it can handle large call volumes and is often used for outbound calling as it’s smarter than most predictive dialer systems.

You may be asking yourself some of these questions during your VoIP discovery to sign up and purchase stage:
The hospitality sector has faced disruption from advances in technology. Agile hotel operators are able to realise profit opportunities, whilst others struggle to maintain existing business models.

The use of VoIP amongst call centre teams has skyrocketed this year as innovative and imaginative managers turn to the technology to maintain business continuity.
VoIP is seen as a smart, money-saving alternative to making regional and international phone calls over a traditional landline. However, the choice between VoIP and landlines is not always straightforward given the choice in providers and the variance in cost and features.
VoIP providers have varied offerings - some more suited to a complex integration than others. It's essential that decision-makers understand the level of integration a provider can offer in order to select the right solution for your business situation. Realising your chosen provider can’t accommodate your requirements during implementation is a sure fire way to unnecessary frustration along with lost time and money.
Most smart firms will be using a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tool to manage their customer pipeline. In addition, they will be using VoIP technology. Both these systems deliver significant business benefits, but it's a new wave of innovation that sees such systems working seamlessly together to achieve maximum value.
When we talk about VoIP, services like Skype or WhatsApp come to mind. But if we want it for professional use, with features such as virtual PBX, we have to take it a step further and look for softphone apps that go beyond making a call or video chats with friends.
There are plenty of softphone options available on the market. They allow you to put the office phone inside your smartphone mobile, which frees you from the need to be tied to the table to receive or make calls with the company number.
