About Voicebase

Founded in 2010 by Walter Bachtiger, Jay Blazensky, Jan Jannink, and Spencer Lord, Voicebase established itself as a key player in the voice analytics market before being acquired by LivePerson in October 2021 for approximately $120 million. The company was started with the vision of making spoken information widely accessible and actionable for businesses. Bachtiger, a Swiss native with a background in data mining and economics, served as the company's CEO, driving its strategic direction.

Read full description

Voicebase provides an AI-powered speech analytics platform for enterprise clients, particularly those with call center operations. Its business model revolves around offering an API that allows developers and enterprises to integrate speech-to-text transcription, conversational analytics, and predictive analytics into their applications. This enables clients to analyze 100% of their customer interactions from phone calls, video recordings, and other audio sources to improve customer experience, boost sales, and mitigate compliance risks. The company adopted a consumption-based pricing model, a strategic move that significantly lowered the cost barrier for accessing speech analytics technology.

The core of Voicebase's service is its ability to transform unstructured voice data into structured, analyzable information. Using Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), the platform transcribes conversations and extracts key insights. Features include sentiment analysis to gauge customer emotion, keyword spotting, and call categorization. A notable capability is its AI-driven predictive analytics, which can forecast customer behavior such as churn probability, up-sell opportunities, or lead quality. Furthermore, the platform addresses security concerns by automatically redacting sensitive information like credit card numbers (PCI) and personally identifiable information (PII) from recordings and transcripts.
