The disclosed system and methods provide real-time information about how agents and customers sound as they are speaking, allowing a supervisor to continuously monitor how agents are doing. The system allows agents to visualize their own speech behavior performance during and after a conversation while viewing important comparative information about prior conversations, and gamifies conversations in real-time by providing visual comparison between the live conversations and various target metrics. The visualization in-turn enhances agent interactive skills such as active listening and mirroring, as well as decision-making skills based on observations of customer engagement and distress levels.
