In our real time meetings or webinars where larger audience are expected we have enabled the captions options with Google Cloud Speech-to-Text tool this start transcribing the complete audio conversation in the neat text format. Also while performing the interview process as well we use this tool to make sure that we adhere to certain rules and are being checked by the superior management team to make sure the transcription has required questions being asked on for quality analysis. Also during the customer call we use this tool to make sure two way communication is transcribed and will be later reviewed when there is an escalation by the superior management

I think RingCentral Contact Center could be well suited to any workplace. I think it does well in the reliability and ease of use departments, and that covers 90% of what you need from a phone system. The added modern integration benefits are the cherry on top! I'm not sure how the pricing model works, so maybe that would be the only limiting factor as far as scenarios where RingCentral Contact Center would not be as well suited.

Cons
  • The software does occasionally get confused by confusing terminology.

We have no intention of renewing our contract with Ring Central. We have had multiple outages in the past 2 years. We have been without an account manager for the past 4 months and the resolution of open issues takes 2-3 months. We were being misbilled for cancelled services for almost 12 months. We are not satisfied with the quality, support, or price of the service

Usability
The reasoning behind my 10 is that the UI is very intuitive; I didn't require any formal training to use it. Google's speech-to-text is not just a conversion tool; it helps automate mundane tasks, saves time, and has an almost human-like understanding.

It delivered high accuracy in accented and noisy environments. Regarding its language support, it offers a variety of languages and dialects. Its's Api's are well-documented and easily integrated with our GCP-based stack. Also, its deployment is fast, and it is cost-effective. And if we talk about its translation, it gives real-time and generic translation with great punctuation. Finally, its speaker diarization makes it a cool and yet powerful tool that helps people.

  • With RingCentral Contact Center we were able to connect with our customers. The feature that allows the call to be sent to the first available rep ensured that this happened.
  • Also, my favorite feature is the call recording and transcription feature. This allowed me to get the customer's emails without asking them to repeat if I missed them the first time. Hence, happier customers and more meetings.
  • RingCentral Contact Center also made it very easy to set up a mailbox for customers to leave messages and reassure them that they've connected with the right person.
