Accessing the Call Recordings Page
The Call Recordings page houses all of your recorded calls and associated transcriptions. It shows who your sales team has called when they called and whether there were any relevant recordings.
The Call Recordings page details how your sales team is reaching out to leads and helps to provide a complete picture of how your sales are being attended to.
Click Analytics > Call Recordings to access the Call Recordings page from the left toolbar.
The Call Recordings page is housed with Lead Gen & CRM's sales reports. Though the Call Recordings page looks like other Lead Gen & CRM sales reports, this page is itself not a report in the same sense. As such, you will be unable to save, export, or schedule these recordings and transcripts.
Available Call Recordings
Whenever you access the Call Recordings page, the Call Recording and Transcript Search pane will populate with recordings—but only if any are available.
By default, the Call Recordings page will display any available recordings from the start of the current month to the current day.
However, there may be times when you want to find specific recordings.
These recordings may be lost in the crowd among your other recent recordings, or you may want to find recordings from calls made previously. You can narrow the displayed available call recordings by setting search filters. These filters are as follows:
When filtering call recordings, you can apply any combination of these filters.

Filtering Recordings by Transcript Keywords
You can filter call recordings by specific keywords that are found in call transcripts. Once used as a filter, these keywords can remain as that filter until they are removed. To filter call recordings by keywords found in transcripts, do the following:
- Click Analytics > Call Recordings in the left toolbar.
- Click + Add keywords.
- Note: Administrators can click the Add these keywords for all users checkbox to force these keywords to appear by default for all users in that Lead Gen & CRM instance.
- Click the Add Keyword field.
- Enter the desired keyword.
- Press the Enter key on your keyboard.
- Repeat as necessary.
- Optionally, click
Delete to remove the keyword from the keyword list.
- Click Save.
Click to enlarge.
Once keywords have been set, the list of transcriptions and recordings will be filtered to only include the entered keywords.
You can further filter these results by selecting individual keywords in the Filters panel to show only those transcriptions and call recordings that match the selected keywords.

- Click Analytics > Call Recordings in the left toolbar.
- Set date range, user, and keyword filters in the Filters pane as desired.

The written log will provide a statement-by-statement review of how confident the system is in its transcription. The more filled in the bar is, the higher the confidence rating.
Be sure to review any of those statements without a high confidence rating, as well as any suspect words or phrases that appear in the transcript.
The transcript will also have the same playback interface that is found in the Call Recordings and Transcript Search pane.
