DS-Keywords and Social Media monitoring

Social media is a global phenomenon and is used as a sales channel by business. Social media posts contain insights and information that are gleaned by monitoring and analysis.

DS-Keywords, the audio keyword identification and monitoring platform, fills this gap. Audio and videos posted on social media are collected and analysed for specific keywords and phrases. This can be achieved at high volume and with high levels of accuracy. This service is available in two forms: Police/Blue light support and monitoring the output of online influencers who have contracts with major brands.

For Social media influencers

Social media influencers are now common in certain sectors – for example, Retail.

Influencers post on different platforms frequently and paid by companies to mention certain brands in their posts. They are also contracted to avoid specific competitive brand names.

Additionally, a brand would want to monitor other posting by influencers to ensure they align to brand values and do not comment on controversial subjects.

Previously, the monitoring of such contracts was time consuming, incomplete and completely dependent on human intervention. DS-Keywords is now being used globally to monitor and detect keywords and phrases for several global fashion brands to ensure consistent compliance of their contracted influencers: This ensures that they mention keywords, avoid competitors and have early warning of other controversial postings.

Other possible applications for social media monitoring

One potential example of this is the detection and monitoring of agents and representatives posting commercial messages which encourage or promote grey market products (the selling of cheaper products intended for one market in another without permission from the manufacturer and against licence terms). In this case, audio and video posting can be collected, analysed and keywords and phrases monitored.

DS-Keywords for Law Enforcement

DS-Keywords enables users to process, transcribe and analyse audio files using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for keyword and phrase matching with built in templates and workflow for management, audit and disclosure.

The application dashboard manages the source audio and transcribed data files.
The dashboard displays transcribed text with highlighted keywords and the ability to jump to keywords within a source audio file.

Automated notifications alert users to matched keywords.

Cases are used to group audio files for management. Templates allow the generation of automated documentation for investigation teams and for disclosure.

DS-Keywords in operations

DS-Keywords is used to provide a service to well-known retail brands. This service is used to monitor social influencer contract compliance, who can be paid considerable amounts for their output. As social media promotion continues to grow as a sales channel, then ensuring value for money and compliance to contractual terms will require objective tools for analysis.

This service provides employers with a view of employee, candidate or client activity online.
