Abstract

System and method to calculate expected waiting time of a caller to a calling center, the method including: monitoring, by a monitor circuit, a content of a present communication session; estimating a point of progress of the monitored communication session; comparing the point of progress to a historical statistic; calculating, by a processor, a projection of a duration of a remainder of the present communication session; and providing, by a communication circuit, an expected waiting time (EWT) based upon the projection of the duration of the remainder of the present communication session. Embodiments may include a speech search process to record call progress. The speech search process may inform, diagnose or monitor a call. The speech search process may inform a supervisor of progress, to take action if necessary. The speech search process may dynamically trigger other processes and construct profiles based upon historical data.
