Voice QA in Zendesk QA helps you review conversations efficiently without having to listen to the entire phone call recording.
The system automatically generates a transcript for each recording, with speakers clearly separated for easier review. Zendesk QA's auto scoring is also available for voice calls in five predefined categories: greeting, closing, empathy, comprehension, and solution offered.
Call recordings must be imported into Zendesk QA before they can be analyzed. To do this, activate Voice QA with Zendesk Talk or Zendesk Talk Partner Edition (TPE).

Activating Voice QA with Zendesk Talk
You must turn on the voice channel before you can activate Voice QA in Zendesk QA.
To activate Voice QA with Zendesk Talk
- In Admin Center, click
Channels in the sidebar, then select Talk and email > Talk. - On the Settings tab, select Transcribe and summarize call recordings for
Zendesk QA.
When selected, call transcripts and summaries are sent to Zendesk QA where QA-focused users can review and analyze call interactions in detail. Voice QA evaluates the call transcript and provides a QA score in the same way it does for chat or messaging conversations.
- Under Select lines, select the phone lines for which you want to turn
transcription and summarization on. You can turn it on for all lines or specific lines
only.
Only phone lines with call recordings turned on can be selected. Lines without this setting aren’t listed.
- (Optional) If you have the Advanced Data Privacy and Protection add-on, you
can configure the following redaction options:
- Redact personally identifiable information (PII) from transcriptions: Automatically redact PII data, such as names, locations, and Social Security numbers from all call recording transcriptions.
- Redact payment card industry (PCI) data from transcriptions: Ensure that sensitive credit card information, including credit card number, expiration date, and CVV is redacted from call recording transcriptions.
Important: PII and PCI data is not redacted from call recording audio files. You need to delete call recording files separately to ensure PII and PCI data is not accessible to Zendesk users using the audio player in tickets. - (Optional) If you want to help the transcription service focus on certain words to
improve accuracy, select Boost keywords in transcriptions and enter individual key
words (not phrases or strings of numbers) separated by a comma.
Speech-to-text technology often struggles with jargon, names, and industry-specific terms. By identifying these unique words that are common in your calls, you can improve the transcription accuracy.
- Click Save.
