Audio signal processing for automatic transcription using ear-wearable device

A system of automatic transcription comprising:

• a first ear-wearable device configured to be worn by a user in contact with a first ear of the user, the first ear-wearable device comprising a first control circuit, a first electroacoustic transducer for generating sound in electrical communication with the first control circuit, a first microphone in electrical communication with the first control circuit, a memory storage, and a wireless communication device, wherein the first ear-wearable device is configured to direct sound from the first transducer toward the user's first ear when the first ear-wearable device is worn by the user;
• and
• a display device comprising a second control circuit, a second wireless communication device, and memory storing computer instructions for instructing the second control circuit to perform:
• receiving an input audio signal, the input audio signal comprising a first voice signal originating from a first speaker and a second voice signal originating from a second speaker,
• processing the input audio signal to identify the first voice signal and the second voice signal from the input audio signal, wherein the first voice signal comprises characteristics indicating the first speaker source for the first voice signal, and the second voice signal comprises characteristics indicating the second speaker source for the second voice signal,
• displaying on the display device a representation of the first voice signal and the second voice signal,
• receiving user input from the user at either the first ear-wearable device or the display device selecting one of the first voice signal and the second voice signal as a selected voice signal,
• converting the selected voice signal of the first voice signal or second voice signal to text data,
• displaying a transcript on the display device, wherein the transcript comprises content spoken in the input audio signal by the selected voice signal of the first voice signal or second voice signal, and
• generating an output signal sound at the first transducer of the first ear-wearable device based on the input audio signal, whereby the output signal is relayed to the user's ear by the first transducer.
