Enhanced quality monitoring

1. A system for enhanced quality monitoring, comprising:

a call record server operating on a network-connected computing device;

a quality monitoring analysis server operating on a network-connected computing device;

a quality monitoring database operating on a network-connected computing device; and

a call monitoring software module operating on a monitoring station network-connected computing device comprising at least a video screen and an audio output device;

wherein the call record server records an audio call and provides a resulting call recording to the quality monitoring analysis server;

wherein the quality monitoring analysis server analyzes the call recording, the analysis comprising at least the steps of:

automatically detecting a plurality of call stages and tagging the call recording accordingly;

wherein the quality monitoring database stores results of the analysis and the call recording;

wherein the call recording and associated analysis are presented by the call monitoring software via the video screen of the monitoring station visually, the visual presentation comprising at least a visual representation of the audio waveform of the call recording, and further wherein the visual representation comprises an indicia of a call stage that requires particular attention from the human monitor.

2. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the analysis comprises measuring a plurality of audio attributes of each of the plurality of call stages and tagging each corresponding portion of the call recording with the plurality of measured audio attributes, the plurality of measured audio attributes including at least vocal intensity and pace of speech.

3. The system of claim 2 , further wherein the analysis comprises automatically identifying, using the plurality of measured audio attributes, a portion of the call recording that requires particular attention by a human monitor.

4. The system of claim 1 , further wherein the visual representation comprises an indicia of a transition from a first call stage to a second call stage.

5. A method for enhancing quality monitoring, comprising the steps of:

(a) obtaining a call recording, using a call record server operating on a network-connected computing device;

(b) analyzing the call recording, using a quality monitoring analysis server operating on a network-connected computing device, the analyzing comprising the substeps of:

automatically detecting a plurality of call stages and tagging the call recording accordingly;

(c) storing results of the analysis in a quality monitoring database operating on a network-connected computing device; and

(d) presenting the results of the analysis and the call recording to a human monitor user using call monitoring software stored and operating on a network-connected monitoring station computing device comprising at least a video screen and an audio output device, the visual presentation comprising at least a visual representation of the audio waveform of the call recording, and further wherein the visual representation comprises an indicia of a call stage that requires particular attention from the human monitor.

6. The method of claim 5 , further wherein the analysis comprises measuring a plurality of audio attributes of each of the plurality of call stages and tagging each corresponding portion of the call recording with the plurality of measured audio attributes, the plurality of measured audio attributes including at least vocal intensity and pace of speech.

7. The method of claim 6 , further wherein the analysis comprises automatically identifying, using the plurality of measured audio attributes, a portion of the call recording that requires particular attention by a human monitor.

8. The method of claim 5 , further wherein the visual representation comprises an indicia of a transition from a first call stage to a second call stage.
