Using the Media Player

From Genesys Documentation
Jump to: navigation, search

Use the Media Player to play back the audio of a recorded interaction and explore other aspects of the interaction. With the Media Player you can listen to an interaction, access a transcript of the interaction to view the words spoken, read comments to view other users ideas and thoughts about the interaction, add your own comments, view events associated with the interaction, an so on.

The Media Player provides a range of interaction playback features that can help you to:

  • Quickly and easily find information associated with the specific interaction.
  • View events associated with the interaction.
  • View an interaction's transcript.
  • Add comments and view comments made by other users.

To activate the Media Player, click the Play icon Playiconfromgrid.png in the Search Results grid. The Media Player is displayed as a timeline with various controls and a variety of information. If interactions are recorded with two audio channels (for example, one for the agent and the other for the customer), the audio channels are shown on both sides of the audio line (one speaker above and the other below).

Events (both linguistic and non-linguistic) and comments are indicated by icons above the audio graph.

To learn more about how to work with the Media Player refer to the following sections:

  • Playback: Enables you to listen to a specific interaction.
  • Media Player actions: Enables you to perform numerous tasks associated with the interaction you are playing.
  • Interaction transcript: Enables you to view the words spoken during the interaction.
  • Interaction comments: Enables you to view other users' ideas and thoughts about the interaction and provides you with the option of making comments yourself.
  • Interaction attributes: Enables you to view specific characteristics about the interaction you are playing.
  • Interaction events: Shows you when events are detected during the interaction.
Important
Interactions are re-indexed when an interaction is played and when a comment is added or changed.

Playback

The Media Player is activated above the Search Results grid when you select to play back an audio interaction, event and/or screen recording.

Before you begin working with the Media Player consider the following:

  • You can play back an interaction from any point in the recording.
  • Supports voice recordings in both primary and secondary regions. You can use the SpeechMiner UI of the primary region to play back the recordings from both regions.
    Warning
    SpeechMiner is deployed in the primary region. If the primary region goes down, the recordings for the calls in the secondary region are not lost. Because of the switchover, there is a delay in SpeechMiner processing the calls from the secondary region.
  • Voice recordings metadata is now exported to Azure Blob for download. You can access and export the call events associated with an interaction and also find other interactions.
  • Playback always begins from the location of the marker in the audio graph.
  • When you play back an interaction from the Search Results grid, the marker moves to the beginning of the interaction.
  • Playback begins automatically when the interaction is loaded.
  • The Media Player includes various playback controls that enable you to better analyze the specific interaction. For additional information, see Playback controls.

Playback timeline

The following non-linguistic icons may appear on the playback timeline. For details about each one of these refer to Interaction Events.

Playback controls

The following image and table represent all the available playback controls:

Important
The Quality Management media player contains fewer controls then the Media Player. In addition, the Quality Management media player contains an icon Opennewwindow.png that when clicked opens the media player in a new separate window. The advantage is that you can view the media player in one screen while looking at SpeechMiner data in a second screen. For more information about Quality Management, see Quality Management (QM).

Hidden Confidential Information

Interaction audio and text may be filtered in your system so that it is hidden from the users eyes. This is done to ensure that confidential information cannot be accessed by users who do not have permission to do so. For this reason, different users may have different permissions. As a result, certain parts of an interaction may be hidden for some users but not for others.

The parts of an interaction that are hidden appear in the audio graph in gray rather than black. Likewise, the text associated with the hidden parts of the interaction is not included in the interaction transcript and the Media Player skips these areas during playback.

The following content can be hidden:

Sensitive Topics: Some topics may be defined in your system as Sensitive. This attribute is assigned to Topics in the SMART application and only users with special permissions can hear the audio or see the text.

Numbers: Numbers consisting of more than two digits may be filtered out of interactions to ensure unauthorized users do not have access to credit card numbers and other confidential information. When you filter text interactions, the confidential digits appear as asterisks.

Enhanced digits filtering (voice interactions only): Digits can be filtered based on complex logic. Additional conditions can be included in the filter, such as greater than, smaller than or equal to. The conditions must be separated by a semi-colon. For example, >5;<12;. If complex conditions are not allowed, the default logic of filtering numbers consisting of more than two digits will take effect.

Comment-Only permission: Some users may only be able to access the parts of an interaction where comments were attached.
Important
For additional information about the filter rules in your system, consult your system administrator.

Dual-channel audio

Recordings in Genesys Multicloud CX are recorded with dual channel audio, one for the agent's side of an interaction and the other for the customer's side of the interaction. If your recording system does this, an energy bar (as shown in the following image) will appear above and below the line in the audio graph so that you can tell who is speaking at any given moment. Filtered audio content is still displayed in gray. As a result, you may see as many as three different colors in the audio graph.
