When working with voice transcription in Genesys Cloud, keep in mind the following limitations:

  • Transcription of ACD agent consults recordings is not supported. For more information, see Record ACD agent consult calls.
  • When an ACD agent consult transfer is performed when there is a change in language between agents, there is no mechanism to inform voice transcription of the language change.  For example, when a consult transfer is performed between an agent speaking en-US (English) to an agent speaking es-US (Spanish), the audio continues to be transcribed in en-US (English).  If the transfer were to occur through a queue, then an in queue flow could be used to update voice transcription that the language has changed.
  • When an ACD agent consult transfer is performed and the customer is listening to music (without vocals), the music may be transcribed as filler words (for example, um, ah, and so on) and a Conference icon appears in the transcript even though the music is not a conference between multiple agents.
  • Consult segments are not processed as part of acoustic analysis. They are not included in the acoustic analysis percentage calculation.
  • When the interaction is put on hold and the customer is listening to music (without vocals), the music may be transcribed as filler words (for example, um, ah, and so on) and an Agent icon appears in the transcript even though the agent is not talking.
  • When an interaction is transferred to a queue,  the in-queue flow may not be fully executed prior to delivering the interaction to an available agent. As a result, if the in-queue flow attempts to change the language, the language change or switch may not take effect since the transcription flow may not have been executed prior to the transfer completing.
  • BYOC Premises post call voice transcription does not transcribe calls beyond a 10-hour limit.
  • BYOC Premises post call voice transcription requires dual channel recording.
  • BYOC Premises post call voice transcription of recordings is only supported with audio in the following formats: Opus, PCMU, PCMA or L16.
  • The list of dialects/languages in external trunk configuration is limited, as a results, for some dialects to be transcribed, the dialect must first be set through an Architect flow. For more information, see External trunk settings.
