Introduction
The Delacon Sentiment Analysis feature analyses your call for its positive and negative attributes and compares it with historical calls to define its state in terms of polarity in sentiment. This report provides a breakdown of the identified sentiments of the call received by your business. A detail trend analysis of the polarity of calls in day, week, and monthly resolution is presented for both customer and agent side. The tabular section contains positive and negative sentiment data for all the calls occurred during the selected date range for the selected services. It also provides the functionality to explore and investigate the data to shortlist calls that you should concentrate on to improve the quality of service.
This guideline explains how:
- How Sentiment Analysis works
- To access the Sentiment Analysis Report
- To examine call polarity trend analysis for each speaker in different resolution
- To explore the data to shortlist calls for detail investigation
- To export the sentiment analysis data for further analysis
How Sentiment Analysis works
First, the speech of each speaker is checked against a predefined list of positive and negative keywords and normalised to calculate per-hundred count for both attributes. The analysed call is then compared with previous one hundred calls by default. However, the number of historical calls, to be compared with, is configurable to allow the comparison to be performed with higher/lower number of calls depending on the number of calls received in a day or a week and also on business type.
Please note, the number of previous calls to be compared with is by default set to 100. However, it can be configured to any number to represent the number of calls in one day or a week on an average received by your business.
It can also be configured to compare with previous calls that belong to the same category. For this, the call categorizer must be activated.
By default, the sentiment analysis module does not consider the category of the call while doing the comparison. If call categoriser is activated, each call can be compared with previous calls that belong to the same category. The functionality is desirable since the polarity of a call in a sales related conversation is expected to be different than that in a service call and the comparison should be performed among the calls that are of the same type.
For the sentiment score, each call is ranked first among all the calls in the comparison group based on the count of positive and negative words present in the speeches from each speaker. A voting algorithm is used to calculate the final ranking of the current call compared to other calls based on its rankings in both positive and negative list. The ranking is then converted into a sentiment score ranging from 0 to 10, where 10 represents maximum negative sentiment, 0 represents maximum positive sentiment, and 5 can be considered as neutral.
This approach allows you to identify more negative calls, even in a scenario where your business receives many negative calls during the time when the service is affected by some unexpected reason, for example, the server is down or any other issues and all the received calls would be considered containing negative sentiment in a normal situation.

Analyse Sentiment Data
In the bottom section of the report, all the sentiment related data for both speakers are presented in tabular format. The table provides the functionality to filter the data based on different criteria as described below:
Call Id | Delacon unique call id |
Call Duration | Duration of the call. |
Total Words | Total Number of words spoken by both speakers |
Positive words per 100-words Speaker 1 | Number of positive words spoken by Speaker 1 on an average in every 100 words. It can also be considered as percentage of positive words spoken by Speaker 1. |
Negative words per 100-words Speaker 1 | Number of negative words spoken by Speaker 2 on an average in every 100 words. It can also be considered as percentage of negative words spoken by Speaker 1. |
Positive words per 100-words Speaker 2 | Number of positive words spoken by Speaker 2 on an average in every 100 words. It can also be considered as percentage of positive words spoken by Speaker 2. |
Negative words per 100-words Speaker 2 | Number of negative words spoken by Speaker 2 on an average in every 100 words. It can also be considered as percentage of negative words spoken by Speaker 2. |
Sentiment score Speaker 1 | The sentiment score indicates a call’s state of positivity/negativity (rank) relative to all the historical calls, optionally in the same category, considering only the speeches from speaker 1. The range of sentiment score is from 0 to 10, where 10 represents maximum negative sentiment, 0 represents maximum positive sentiment, and 5 can be considered as neutral. The higher the sentiment score, the more negative the call is compared to historical calls. |
Sentiment score Speaker 2 | The sentiment score indicates a call’s state of positivity/negativity (rank) relative to all the historic calls, optionally in the same category, considering only the speeches from speaker 2. The range of sentiment score is from 0 to 10, where 10 represents maximum negative sentiment, 0 represents maximum positive sentiment, and 5 can be considered as neutral. The higher the sentiment score, the more negative the call is compared to historical calls. |
Sentiment score Overall | The sentiment score indicates a call’s state of positivity/negativity (rank) relative to all the historic calls, optionally in the same category, considering only the speeches from both speakers. The range of sentiment score is from 0 to 10, where 10 represents maximum negative sentiment, 0 represents maximum positive sentiment, and 5 can be considered as neutral. The higher the sentiment score, the more negative the call is compared to historical calls. |
Analysis | Clicking on the Analyse link for each call in this table, will open a new page with a visualization of the call and its transcript, the conversation metrics, and detail speech analytics outcome. |

This table is essentially a tool for you to filter the calls out on which your business should concentrate to improve the service quality. You can filter and shortlist calls based on different criteria explained above.
Please treat the Call Id as number, whereas all other fields, including call duration, as decimal fraction for filtering purpose.
Export the sentiment analysis data for further analysis
The data can be exported in CSV format for further analysis.
Please note, the number of previous calls to be compared with is by default set to 100. However, it can be configured to any number to represent the number of calls in one day or a week on an average received by your business.
It can also be configured to compare with previous calls that belong to the same category. For this, the call categorizer must be activated.
