Ending not knowing in financial services

Two aspects of the 2020 pandemic lockdown transformed the way financial institutions handle compliance.

First, Bankers and others in the finance sector stopped interacting face-to-face with customers. An industry that relied on face-to-face interaction and in-person transactions had to find new ways of working.

Second, employers sent staff home to work. Within days employees equipped their home offices with suitable devices and fired up their broadband connections. Video conferencing tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex moved centre stage.

It took some doing. Before lockdown the finance sector had plenty of digital capability. Parts of the industry had been online for decades.

Yet most video interaction focused on internal use. If you could find video conferencing anywhere in a financial institution, chances are people were using it for internal meetings.

Despite no-one anticipating a worldwide pandemic, the sector pivoted. Those inward-looking cameras and microphones now face customers. Businesses moved further online. Like everyone else, compliance staff adapted to life where many people no longer work from an office.

Unsurprisingly this switch brought new compliance challenges.

How do you authenticate a client who wants to give transactional instructions in a Zoom call? How do you know what is being said when it is being said outside of your traditional call center and phone connections? What does quality assurance look like in this new world? Is it possible to reconstruct a transaction from end-to-end across multiple end-points? How will you prove your KYC obligations?

At the same time, customers started to assert their preferred means of communication more strongly. For some that’s Wechat. For others it’s Teams. And others use Whatsapp.

And, while customer confidence in transacting digitally grew exponentially, the primacy of voice remained unchanged. Today, voice remains the preferred means of communicating for any crucial transaction or conversation.

This is where unified voice recording shines. It captures and records any conversation that takes place over any network or channel. It works with telephony, messaging or video conferencing technology.

Because it lives in the cloud and captures voice at the network level, financial services professionals can use unified call recording anywhere.

Unified voice captures working from home calls in the same way it captures calls made at the office. Best of all, it pulls together data from multiple conversations made through multiple channels.

Once captured the information sits in a single central repository that is accessible from anywhere. There’s a clear trail for managers and compliance professionals to follow.

While technology connected us, it didn’t end not knowing. Our ability to listen and collect data was further limited, amplifying an existing problem: not knowing.

Not knowing what someone said and when they said it. Not knowing if the people concerned fulfilled all their obligations.

As we continue to connect in new ways, we also need to learn to listen in new ways. And Unified Call Recording fueling Voice Intelligence is a critical part of the answer.

Why a Certified Microsoft Teams Recording Solution is Essential for Compliance

Why a Certified Microsoft Teams Recording Solution is Essential for Compliance

Blog Post News and announcements

The unprecedented events of 2020 drove adoption of Microsoft Teams globally as businesses were forced to adapt rapidly to continue their operations with a dispersed workforce. Ensuring continuing compliance with industry regulations has been a challenge for enterprises using Microsoft Teams, until now.

The Importance of a Certified Compliance Call Recording for Microsoft Teams

An automated, policy-based recording solution certified by Microsoft that seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Teams is a critical piece of communication infrastructure. It is also essential for ensuring Microsoft Teams communications compliance.

Dubber is among the first Call Recording solutions to achieve compliance call recording certification for Microsoft Teams. And from what we can tell, the only certified call recording solution capable of delivering Unified Call Recording.

What makes Compliance Unified Call Recording different?

Legacy call recording solutions capture call recordings from a small range of end-points; they are often specific to an application; and typically require hardware, software and professional services. Dubber is truly network native and cloud based. This means compliance call recording is provisioned with a click, any number of endpoints can be captured, and any recordings can be stored in the infinitely scalable Voice Intelligence Cloud.

Just like Dubber is native to Microsoft Teams, it will work as well for mobile, desk-phones and more. And it’s open API and out-of-the-box integrations with popular software like Salesforce mean you’re not tied to seeing your voice data, beautiful transcriptions and AI-enriched insights in Dubber.

Enabling Continuous Compliance for Microsoft Teams Customers

Businesses in regulated industries such as banking, government, insurance and financial services sectors can now meet their legal and regulatory obligations for Microsoft Teams users in call centre, branch, and work-from-home environments simply, easily, and with confidence.

By recording calls with Dubber, financial services firms can use Microsoft Teams with confidence knowing that they can automatically record, store and encrypt all call data as required by HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, KYC, Dodd-Frank, MiFID II, and more.

Dubber’s cloud based compliance call recording solution frees financial institutions from the restrictions of application-specific and infrastructure-based call recording normally confined to call center environments. Dubber offers a cloud-native solution that records directly from the network to complement remote working.

Discover the gold standard in compliance call recording for Microsoft Teams today.

Keeping call recording PCI compliant

Keeping call recording PCI compliant

Blog Post News and announcements

Not all information is equal. Some can be stored and used. Other information can’t.

The question is how to separate what can and can’t be recorded and stored when your aim is to capture crucial conversations while also ensuring PCI DSS compliance.

Fortunately there are solutions, but not all are created equal.

The dangers of redaction

There is an old saying: prevention is better than cure. As far as PCI solutions for call recording go, there are preventative measures and there are cures. PCI redaction solutions are cures. Customers give all of their payment information to contact centre agents while the call is being recorded. Not only is the information taken by the agent, but it’s now been processed and recorded. Redaction solutions rely on AI to detect the correct information to delete and no solution is 100% effective.

PCI compliant call recording options

Now for the preventative measures: pause and resume and payment gateways. These solutions stop identifiable information from ever being recorded, so there’s no need for an AI bot to go through recordings and transcripts with a black pen.

PCI compliant payment gateways

Payment gateways are the ultimate gold standard in PCI compliance solutions. Not even the contact centre agent has any knowledge of the customer’s details as these are entered by the customer through their keypad. Any dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones are masked and the agent sees asterisks appear on their screen instead of characters.

Pause and resume for PCI compliance

Payment gateways aren’t for everybody. Depending on the PCI requirements of your business and your budget, a pause and resume solution may be more suitable. Choose from manual or automatic options, depending on your needs.

Manual solutions put the pause and resume of recording in the hands of contact centre agents – allowing them to stop recordings when sensitive information is about to be shared. Of course, this method opens up the potential for human error.

PCI DSS guidelines recommend that merchants using this method check their recordings weekly for identifiable information.

Automatic pause and resume is triggered by window or URL changes, or through custom triggers using an API. Desktop clients don’t require any custom developments and can be easily integrated, while API solutions are more robust, with a lower risk of end-user interference.

Chat to a Dubber compliance expert today to understand how to address PCI compliance when recording calls and storing conversational data.

Dubber Signs Hybrid Cloud agreement with IBM

Dubber Signs Hybrid Cloud agreement with IBM

News and announcements

New agreement expands reach of Dubber’s Unified Call Recording & Voice Intelligence Cloud with IBM & Ingram Micro Advances Dubber vision for ‘AI on every Phone’

Sydney, Australia, 7 December 2020: A leading global provider of cloud-based call recording and voice AI, Dubber (ASX:DUB), is the latest Australian company to sign up to utilise IBM hybrid cloud technologies as part of their product offerings. The new three year agreement will see Dubber expand its industry-leading Unified Call Recording and Voice Intelligence Cloud services to include IBM Hybrid Cloud and advanced security through IBM Hyper Protect.

Dubber has been working with IBM over the past 18 months to develop a cloud-based solution which uses IBM Watson Speech to Text to transform call recordings into actionable data that can be tagged, recalled, analysed, searched and saved as text to store all telephone interactions in the cloud. The solution will be available via Dubber’s existing solution providers and partners.

Dubber CEO, Steve McGovern, said, “Continuing to expand our successful partnership with IBM to include IBM Hybrid Cloud and Ingram Micro distribution will further accelerate our vision of putting AI in every network and on every phone. The security and scale at which we can achieve Unified Call Recording will enable networks to make the crucial shift from connections to delivering value from the content on the network like never before.”

“Together we are transforming the economics of capturing conversations – using the Cloud, AI and infinite scale – for service providers in a way that will ultimately enable it to be offered as an ubiquitous service,” added McGovern.

“Hybrid cloud is swiftly becoming the dominant force driving change in businesses. As companies work to modernize workloads and build new business applications on the cloud without jeopardising security and control, they are turning to IBM Cloud,” said IBM Head of Cloud for ANZ, Anthone Withers.

“As part of this agreement, we are also helping Dubber expand their business globally as an independent software vendor (ISV) through Ingram Micro so they can continue to grow, and expand their network.”

IBM’s hybrid cloud approach is built on a foundation of open source software, security leadership, and enterprise-grade infrastructure. Data protection and security services have been embedded into IBM’s hybrid cloud architecture to protect a client’s processes, applications and cloud services, while managing compliance requirements. For example, IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Crypto Services will provide Dubber’s customers with a heightened level of security as they control their cloud data encryption keys – ensuring that only the client has control over their crypto keys – and that not even IBM can access.

Additionally, earlier this month, Dubber announced its inclusion in the 35+ member strong partner ecosystem for IBM Cloud for Telecommunications: an open, hybrid cloud architecture designed to help telecommunications providers address the specific challenges of the highly-regulated industry: accelerating business transformation, enhancing digital client engagement and improving agility as they modernize their enterprise applications and infrastructure to unlock the power of 5G and edge.

As part of its work with the ecosystem, Dubber’s Voice Intelligence Cloud will integrate and be interoperable with IBM Cloud for Telecommunications, to help enable providers to deliver next generation Unified Call Recording and Voice AI Services on one cloud platform.

Your call recording for compliance checklist

Your call recording for compliance checklist

Blog Post News and announcements

The twenty features you need to ensure your call recording solution meets your compliance needs.

1.Are your recordings clear and accurate?

Recording for compliance is all about accurate record keeping. If all you’re recording is background noise, or broken speech from a poor connection, you’re not really fulfilling your compliance requirements. Your call recording solution should record directly from the network to make sure that every word is crystal clear, no matter the quality of the call.

2.Is your storage secure enough?

When it comes to compliance, particularly in the financial services industry, you’ve got to be in it for the long-haul. Regulations such as MiFID II can require companies to store their recorded conversations for up to 7 years, or even longer. Your call recording solution must have the storage capacity to securely store recorded calls long-term. Cloud storage has a significant advantage over on-premise storage here, as there are no worries about ever running out of space.

3.Can your call recording solution scale to meet demand?

Speaking of storage and capacity…to make sure you capture every single conversation, your call recording solution will need to be scalable enough to cope with multiple concurrent recordings. If you’re running a huge global organisation, there could be hundred or even thousands of conversations happening at once. You need to ensure that all of these calls are recorded.

4.Are your recordings encrypted?

Captured calls need to be protected. With conversations containing highly sensitive personal data, these recordings must be encrypted. And we don’t just mean in storage. Data should be encrypted in transit with transport layer security, as well as at rest. AES-256 is one of the strongest block ciphers available – we encrypt every protected object with a unique encryption key. The object key itself is then encrypted with a regularly rotated master key, for that extra layer of protection.

5.Are you able to record every single call?

We’ve never navigated as many communication channels as we do today. Whether taking client calls on your mobile while we work from home, or chatting with colleagues over Microsoft Teams, for regulatory compliance you need a Unified Call Recording solution that can capture calls across every device and channel.

6.Is your data protected by geographic redundancy?

To really ensure stored data is fully protected, there should be redundancy measures in place to mitigate risk. On-premise solutions can’t compete with the ability of cloud platforms to deploy across multiple data centres within a geographic region. Platform loads can be spread across data centres to provide full redundancy across all elements, including storage.

7.Is your solution available, even in unprecedented events?

Another area that cloud solutions excel in is availability. The various elements of cloud platforms can be decoupled and run as separate services, while processing can be swapped to different servers without downtime. Cloud platforms deploy load balancers to manage traffic and scale processes. Data centre connectivity can be managed and, in the event of catastrophic failure, moved accordingly across the platform architecture.

8.Is all of your data held in one place?

Having data stored in multiple locations is a compliance nightmare. In order to reduce the complexity of compliance, all of your organisation’s recorded conversations should be stored in one unified repository.

9.Do you have a retention policy in place?

Deleting data once it’s no longer required is as equally important as storing it securely in the first place. Particularly when it comes to compliance with regulations like the GDPR, it’s vital that organisations erase data when they no longer have a legitimate purpose to store it. Your call recording for compliance solution should include the option to set retention periods for recordings so they are automatically deleted after a specified period.

10.Are you prepared for a legal hold request?

Legal hold requests can happen at any time. These events mandate the preservation of information, including recorded calls, and can cause hassle for businesses if their data isn’t stored in a unified repository. To cover legal hold requests, your call recording solution needs to have a feature to preserve recorded calls no matter what. This should override standard retention periods, the deletion of a user or the expiration of overall storage periods.

11.Who can access recordings?

Access to recorded calls should be restricted to appropriate users for data protection, so your call recording solution should enable strict and secure permissions and team structures. Make sure you can group users into teams and control who can listen to recordings within a team. As standard, users should only be able to listen to their own recordings and users outside a team shouldn’t be able to access recordings.

12.How is access to recordings authenticated?

To ensure data is transmitted securely, access to recorded calls should be monitored and your call recording solution should employ stringent password policies and granular permissions that control user access to system features, functionality, and recorded data. For extra security, access to content should be via tokenised sessions.

13.Can you instantly retrieve recordings?

Often regulatory compliance requires instant access to data in order to comply with audits or other requests for information. All recorded calls should be instantly available to prepare for these kinds of situations. Cloud solutions are the ultimate solution – with recorded call data immediately available to replay, securely download, review, or delete on request.

14.Are your recordings time-stamped?

As part of regulatory audits, legal hold requests, or dispute resolution, organisations are often required to retrieve all calls from a specific time or date. Your recording solution should time-stamp all calls and allow search results to be filtered by date or time as well as user.

15.Can you pause and resume recording for PCI DSS?

Any organisations that take card payments over the phone will be familiar with the requirements of PCI DSS compliance. Certain payment card information is not allowed to be collected so your call recording solution must have the ability to pause and resume recording.

16.Does your call recording solution proactively mitigate risk?

Most industry regulations have been put into place in order to protect consumers and promote best practices. Your call recording solution can actually be a useful tool for proactive improvements and risk mitigation when it includes voice AI. When calls are transcribed, keyword searches can be put in place for the early detection of risky behaviour – deterring potential bad actors.

17.Can you securely export your data for visualisation?

Exporting voice data, securely of course, for analysis is another way to get a really clear picture of how your organisation is operating in order to reduce your level of risk. By visualising trends across a company, business leaders can get clear visibility over their operations.

18.Do you receive alerts for risky behaviour?

In order to respond to compliance risks instantly, you need real-time alerts to risky behaviour within your organisation. Using transcription, your call recording solution should provide the ability to create instant alerts for keywords specific to your industry or even your organisation. When these words are spoken during a call, managers or supervisors will receive an email warning them and giving them a link to the recording of the conversation in question.

19.Can you implement intuitive workflows and rule-based automation?

Automation shouldn’t stop at keyword alerts. To streamline processes within a business, your call recording solution should include an open API that allows you to create intuitive workflows and rule-based automation. These can automatically populate other business applications with call data for increased productivity and visibility across operations.

20.Can you ensure business continuity?

Business continuity really came to the forefront in 2020 and is a key component of any organisation’s risk and compliance management. Ensuring that your business can continue to operate securely, no matter where your workforce is based is essential. With remote working looking increasingly like it is here to stay, your call recording solution must not be confined to your office. Likewise with data storage. Ensure your voice data is protected by storage that will continue to operate securely, even in the face of unprecedented events.

What does Brexit mean for Voice Data?

What does Brexit mean for Voice Data?

Blog Post News and announcements

It’s official, the UK is no longer part of the European Union and the transition period is rapidly coming to a close. What does this mean for data protection? Do businesses still need to comply with the GDPR after December 31st 2020?

For those businesses who operate within the European Economic Area (EEA) and record their phone calls, they must check that their protection of voice data is sufficient for a post-Brexit world. If data is processed in the UK, they must ensure that they have contractual provisions in place to reflect any flow of data between the EEA and the UK. Any preparations need to consider the progress of negotiations that are continuing during this current transition period. GDPR may well remain part of UK law.

What legislation currently applies?

Parliament has passed The Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, which is basically the GDPR but applicable to a UK-only context. This will apply from the end of the transition period. If you’re a business based outside of the UK and offer goods or services to or monitor individuals in the UK this is applicable to you. If you’re a UK business and you’re already compliant with GDPR, and you don’t have any customers or contacts in the EEA, then you’re already sorted…or are you?

Any data protection plans are contingent on an adequacy decision from the European Commission, where the European Commission decides whether the UK offers an adequate level of data protection. With a rewrite of UK data protection laws potentially on the horizon, an adequacy decision could be significantly delayed. If no adequacy decision is made, businesses may need to amend their current contracts in order to continue data transfers. The extra cost of this undertaking could be bad news for small businesses.

What happens after the transition period?

From January 1st 2021, the UK will be deemed a “third country” under the GDPR, which means personal data from the EEA will only be able to be transferred if:

  • The European Commission issues an adequacy decision
  • Appropriate safeguards are in place
  • There is an agreement of approved codes of conduct
  • There is certification under an approved certification mechanism together with binding and enforceable commitments on the receiver outside the EEA

If you’re a UK business that receives personal data from contacts in the EEA, you will need to take extra steps to ensure that this data transfer can still go ahead. If you’re a UK business with some form of presence or customers in the EEA, you’ll have to comply with both the UK and EU legislation and may even have to appoint a European Representative. You will need to implement an appropriate mechanism to transfer personal data from the EEA to the UK and any onward transfers to another third country. Several of these mechanisms are already laid out in the GDPR, including standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission (SCCs).

Organisations should be able to continue transferring data from the UK to the EEA, but data protection documentation and contracts will require updating.

Businesses that transfer data from the UK to countries outside the EEA should be able to continue with existing processes for now, but any reforms of UK data protection laws could change that. The really tricky part is transferring to and from the US. This is due to the EU/US ‘Privacy Shield’ agreement being declared invalid by the EU Courts. This means yet more contract updates and appropriate safeguards.

What is Dubber doing to prepare for Brexit?

Dubber already complies with GDPR and will ensure that we continue to do so after the transition period, whether or not the UK is considered an adequate third country.

Let us know if you have any questions about voice data and Brexit.

The language of global business

The language of global business

Blog Post News and announcements

As business becomes more and more international, the languages used to communicate only become more numerous. This globalised way of operating requires a multilingual approach.

With national economies fluctuating constantly, the dominant languages of business may change – and global companies will need to be prepared. As part of their international expansion, businesses should include language in their strategy.

In the same way that machine translation has improved accessibility online, machine transcription is facilitating global business. The intersection of machine learning and language translation is helping businesses across the world reach new audiences. Part of Dubber’s mission to bring voice AI to everybody is breaking down language barriers and allowing everyone to operate in their preferred language. Offering more languages for transcription helps us better serve businesses who operate globally.Good communication allows people located across the globe to exchange information and ideas and coordinate work and business operations. With remote work the new normal, business in the future may operate from different continents as standard. AI is facilitating this. Research in the US found that the introduction of machine translation increased exports by 10.9% and improved economic efficiency1.

Speaking your language

Not only is it important that your voice transcription solution supports different languages but also regional variants. While Spanish speakers from around the world might speak the same language on paper, there are many regional differences. Companies who operate in Spanish speaking areas including Puerto Rico and Mexico use Dubber’s services, and are supported by the regional transcription variants that we provide.

In order to offer the broadest possible range of languages to our customer base we use multiple transcription services – adding Google Cloud Speech-to-Text to our arsenal this year. Google and IBM Watson also help us to identify caller sentiment, including tone and emotion.

One of the key advantages of AI transcription is speed: AI can transcribe hours of recordings quickly – work that would take human transcribers days or even years. This makes machine transcription much cheaper than employing a human transcriber, or using the time of your staff to review calls. With voice AI able to detect keywords and analyse the sentiment of a call, the expertise of your employees can be saved for reviewing the tiny sample of calls identified as requiring attention.

It’s time to end not knowing

It’s time to end not knowing

Blog Post

James Slaney is the co-founder of Dubber. Here he gives us an overview of how voice data can provide solutions to business problems.

There’s one piece missing from every organisation’s compliance and performance puzzle. Voice. And AI powered Unified Call Recording is the answer.

Today the majority of our business interactions are voice-based. And more than ever, those calls are happening outside of the call centre.

When those calls and conversations end, critical content and value is lost forever. Imagine losing the majority of your data every day.

Traditional approaches to call recording don’t work when calls are happening across devices and communication platforms like Microsoft Teams. Hardware costs, lack of scalability, insurmountable technical barriers, and compliance difficulties mean a new approach is needed.

Businesses are left not knowing.

With customers consistently choosing to contact brands over the phone, critical content and value is being lost every day. Businesses who aren’t capturing their voice data are left asking what their customers are saying, whether they’re satisfied, what the details of their orders were, and whether their records are up to date.

That’s why we created Dubber, the world’s #1 Unified Call Recording solution powered by the cloud and AI. It’s the only fully scalable and compliant solution that can be switched on with a click.

A data-driven approach to customer and employee experience is critical to the growth and development of an organisation, particularly In today’s hyper-competitive economy.

Unified Call Recording automatically captures every call and transforms conversations into tangible data through AI. Voice data can be used to power transcripts, real-time search, alerts, and sentiment analysis.

Only 36% of executives have real-time, highly integrated capabilities across all customer channels within their enterprise.

Data doesn’t stop with Dubber. The future of customer service will see one unified record of interactions across every channel, no longer requiring a customer to relay their entire history to each new representative they speak to. Why wait for the future? What if every customer call was automatically transcribed and logged within your company’s CRM application?

Using an open API, businesses can populate CRM tools with a unified record of customer interactions. Imagine every Salesforce record up-to-date with the most recent customer conversation: including the recording, transcript, and even customer sentiment.

The integration of business data is the foundation for superior data-driven customer experiences and compliance.

Together we can unlock the potential of voice data to power better business outcomes, enterprise transformation and business continuity.

Satisfied or Dissatisfied?

Satisfied or Dissatisfied?

News and announcements

Customer experience starts and ends with customer satisfaction. But how do you know when a customer is satisfied or not?

Enterprises today measure customer satisfaction through a combination of anecdotal evidence and often slow reporting. Most see a significant gap between industry leaders and their peers. Leaders are moving to real-time and predictive views of customer experience.

And that’s where Unified Call Recording comes in.

A recent Walker Info report revealed that customer experience is overtaking price and product as a key brand differentiator. The report further shows that 86% of buyers are willing to pay more for a better customer experience.

At the core of these efforts is capturing every conversation with a customer in real-time, using AI to score the conversation sentiment, and presenting data in real-time – not just in dashboards but in every customer record.

This same data becomes the fuel for “Know Your Customer” – a key component of most global compliance mandates.

A Forbes Insights survey of 357 executives found that the benefits of data-driven customer experience are wide-ranging – including enhancing revenue generation and enabling cost reduction, as well as process efficiencies and quality improvements.

Unlocking happiness

The point of sentiment analysis isn’t just to know what was said, but to be able to do something about it. Modern Unified Call Recording platforms don’t just tell you how satisfied your customer is, they tell you how satisfied your employees are. Integrating employee experience is essential to improving customer satisfaction. Effective use of Unified Call Recording will tell you the real impact.

Recorded calls are an invaluable resource for training and quality control. Don’t throw your new staff into the deep end – show them what works well and what doesn’t during their onboarding by playing them real calls.

But don’t just take it from us, let one of our customers show you how they’re using voice data to optimise their customer experience.

A&E Auto Glass on Dubber

“The Dubber solution has been a great blessing for our company because we are able to listen to calls for quality and training purposes.”Eric Solheim, A&E Auto Glass

Dubber: What was the challenge that brought you to choosing Dubber?

Eric Solheim: We didn’t have call recording and wanted an affordable solution to help with dispute resolution, as well as to enhance our employee training. Our ultimate goal was ensuring customer happiness and accuracy in our communications.

D: How did Dubber help you solve this problem?

ES: Since deploying Dubber, dispute resolution has vastly improved with accurate records of conversations with customers. We know exactly what was said, which protects us against any future liability. We also use recorded calls to enhance our staff training to ensure that our customers are getting the best service with accurate information.

  • 50% increase in disputes resolved in favour of the company
  • 70 phones at the company
  • 98% accuracy of recorded calls

D: What was the process of going live with Dubber like?

ES: We have our telephony service with Cox so Dubber was a clear choice as it’s the best deal out there with our phone system. They aren’t just the best deal though; their solution works very well and we deployed it across all 70 phones in our business.

The results have been great, 98% of the time the call is perfect quality. The Dubber solution has been a great blessing for our company because we are able to listen to calls for quality and training purposes. Not only is the price reasonable, but the customer service is very helpful and quick to respond. I would definitely recommend Dubber!
