Augmented Search Functionality

Voice Inspector's search capabilities will be expanded to enable developers to retrieve call information based on phone numbers, call leg IDs, or conversation IDs with enhanced granularity. Furthermore, developers can filter searches based on specific call types, facilitating targeted analysis of in-app or PSTN calls.

Detailed Call Information Page

The Call Information page within Voice Inspector will provide developers with an in-depth breakdown of each call leg, including precise call summaries, comprehensive quality metrics, error logs, and a meticulous event log capturing key call events. This granular level of detail will facilitate thorough troubleshooting and optimisation of call functionalities.

Comprehensive Quality Metrics

Developers will gain access to detailed quality metrics for each call leg, encompassing bitrate, jitter, packet loss, and latency. These metrics will offer valuable insights into call quality and performance, empowering developers to effectively diagnose and rectify potential issues impacting call experiences.
