Call Transcription is the AI-driven process of converting spoken audio from a live call or voicemail into written text. When integrated into an incident management platform, transcription allows responders to read the details of a reported issue within an incident or Slack thread. This is particularly useful for quickly scanning the contents of a voicemail without having to listen to the entire audio file.

Key Benefits of Call Transcription

  • Searchability: Transcripts allow teams to search past incidents for specific keywords mentioned by callers.
  • Accessibility: Provides a text-based alternative for responders who may be in a loud environment or have hearing impairments.
  • Faster Triage: Reading a transcript is often 3x faster than listening to a recording, allowing for quicker decision-making during a major outage.
