TP Leverages AI for Accent-Translation to Improve Customer Engagement

  • Written by Business Daily Media

Global digital business services provider Teleperformance (TP) is leveraging AI voice technology to improve communication between customers and service experts to transform voice-based support – with the technology soon to be rolled out for Australia.
Richard Valente, Vice President Customer Experience Strategy at TP in Australia, said the real-time accent translation tool, Sanas, enables clearer and more confident conversations between customers seeking support via voice channels and service experts.
“The real-time speech AI and accent-translation technology is designed to eliminate communication barriers, including pronounced accents and noise cancellation, and ensures the communication is clearer and more effective. It enables the service expert to focus on providing effective and quick resolution.”
“TP is a pioneer in using this technology to empower our customer interaction teams for effective communication and customer support. When people understand each other more easily, everyone wins. This is about innovation, empathy and efficiency to provide high quality service and engagement.”
“Australians expect superior customer support, with quick resolution and minimal friction whether they’re troubleshooting an energy bill or checking a flight delay. The day is not far when every Australian brand will adopt this AI innovation to deliver clearer, more confident, and human-centric support, in their contact centres.”
“For our teams, the benefits are two-fold. This technology helps reduce the emotional toll of repeating themselves or facing customer frustration over accents. It also means there’s better morale, increased confidence and more consistent support for calling customers. It helps our service experts build trust, emphasising that the future of CX lies in amplifying human intelligence with AI, not replacing it.”
“It’s not about changing who our agents are, it’s about making communication easier for both parties. The technology simply bridges the gap between voices and accents, eliminating noise at the same time, to enable effective communication that drives stronger results and customer satisfaction.”
“TP is an industry leader in providing enhanced customer experiences and we continue to explore the AI revolution to offer the best in-class customer experience,” said Valente.
