We love the transcription service with Dialpad. We transcribe calls, find opportunities for improvement, and have been effectively doubling the demos-to-calls ratio with better analytics and more sophisticated analytics.

👉 Side note:
You’ll notice that Nextiva isn’t on this list even they market themselves as a business VoIP phone system. That’s because Nextiva is reselling or whitelabelling other companies’ software (for both their UCaaS and call center software). It’s similar to what RingCentral is doing with its call center product, except Nextiva is also reselling its unified communications product.
