A system for semi automated review of contact center agent performance, comprising:

• a data manager stored and operating on a network-connected computer;
• an evaluator user interface software module stored and operating on a network-attached computer;
• a speech analytics engine coupled via a network to the data manager;
• a plurality of automated evaluator software modules stored and operating on a plurality of network-attached computers;
• a network-connected database adapted to store call recordings and associated metadata;
• and
• a call recording system coupled to the database and adapted to store call recordings in the database;
• wherein the call recording system records customer calls and stores the resulting call recordings in the database;
• wherein the data manager collects and preprocesses a plurality of data elements pertaining to a plurality of specific call recordings and stores them in the database as metadata associated with the respective call recordings;
• wherein the speech analysis engine conducts automated speech analysis of a first call recording, tags the first call recording with a first time-specific metadata element based on the results of the automated speech analysis, and stores the first time-specific metadata element in the database as part of the first call recording;
• wherein at least one of the plurality of automated evaluator software modules performs automated analysis of a plurality of call recordings and their associated metadata and, based on the results of the automated analyses, prioritizes at least a subset of the plurality of call recordings for review by a human reviewer using the evaluator user interface software module;
• and
• wherein the data manager delivers call recordings from the prioritized subset to the evaluator user interface software module in priority order.
