Dispatch Call Analytics

Find any control-room call by what was said. Dispatch Call Analytics transcribes your recorded calls, identifies who spoke when, and plays the recording from the exact moment you need.

The problem

Recorded isn't the same as findable.

Balancing Authorities, Reliability Coordinators, Transmission and Generator Operators, Distribution Providers, ISOs and RTOs record every control-room call. Finding a specific call, or what was said in it, still means listening through recordings by hand.

Human transcription

People replay recordings and type up what was said, by hand, just to find one instruction or one MW value.

Billing disputes

Market Settlements needs proof of who asked for what, and when, to charge and bill market participants accurately.

Audit pressure

NERC asks for dated, timestamped evidence of Operating Instructions issued during an Emergency.

Legal exposure

Recordings must be preserved untouched when they may become evidence.

How it works

From recording to the right moment

  1. 01

    Recorded

    Your existing call recording system keeps capturing every control-room line. Nothing changes for operators.

  2. 02

    Transcribed

    Each recording becomes a timestamped transcript, checked for quality and confidence.

  3. 03

    Who spoke when

    Speakers are separated and labeled, so every line is attributed to the person who said it.

  4. 04

    Found and played

    Search by what was said, when, and on which line, then play the recording from that exact moment.

Features

Built for the way control rooms work

Transcript & playback

Read along, then play from that point

Every call opens as a conversation, not a waveform. Each line is attributed to a speaker, stamped with its time and playable on its own.

  • Confidence check on every line, so reviewers know what to verify
  • Corrections tracked in a full change history
  • Equipment, units, acronyms and members tagged as they are said

  • Three-part communication detected automatically
  • Declare an emergency window once and every overlapping call is marked

Who benefits

One system, value across the organization

Dispatch

Check that three-part communication is followed, link outage calls to tickets in your outage ticketing system, and use real calls as training moments.

Compliance

Timestamped recordings and transcripts as evidence that Operating Instructions were issued and confirmed, kept to your retention policy.

Market Settlements

Find the call behind a charge in seconds rather than hours, and settle questions such as which party requested a curtailment.

Transmission Services

Audit interchange checkout calls and confirm the exact MW value, path and timing agreed across tie lines.

Legal

Place a Legal Hold on an individual recording to preserve it and all its data until an authorized administrator releases it.

Built for

Every NERC functional entity with a control room

Many organizations hold several registrations at once. Dispatch Call Analytics serves all of them from one searchable record, built on Databricks and kept to your company retention policy.
