The audio data may be obtained from a public switched telephone network. The method may also include directing the audio data from the first device to a second device over a short-range wireless network. The second device may host the short-range wireless network. The method may further include directing the audio data from the second device to a remote transcription system over a wireless cellular network and obtaining, at the second device, transcript data from the remote transcription system over the wireless cellular network. The method may also include limiting data transmitted and received over the wireless cellular network as authorized by the second device to data associated with transcription of audio obtained by the first device over the public switched telephone network. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of transcription communication comprising: obtaining, at a first device, audio data during a communication session between the first device and a remote device, the audio data obtained from a public switched telephone network;

obtaining, at the second device, transcript data from the remote transcription system over the wireless cellular network, the transcript data including a transcription of the audio data; and limiting data transmitted and received over the wireless cellular network as authorized by the second device to data associated with transcription of audio obtained by the first device over the public switched telephone network. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein limiting data transmitted and received over the wireless cellular network as authorized by the second device includes limiting an integrated circuit with credentials to access the wireless cellular network to use by the second device, wherein the integrated circuit is removably coupled to the second device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein limiting the integrated circuit with the credentials to access the wireless cellular network to use by the second device includes directing association of an identifier of the integrated circuit with a particular gateway identifier stored by the second device such that the wireless cellular network denies network access when receiving the identifier of the integrated circuit without the particular gateway identifier. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein limiting the integrated circuit with the credentials to access the wireless cellular network to use by the second device includes directing association of an identifier of the integrated circuit with a particular gateway identifier such that the wireless cellular network denies network access when receiving the identifier of the integrated circuit that does not correspond to the particular gateway identifier. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein limiting data transmitted and received over the wireless cellular network as authorized by the second device to data associated with transcription of audio includes restricting, by the second device, access to the Internet to a single Internet protocol sub-domain or to particular Internet protocol subdomains. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein limiting data transmitted and received over the wireless cellular network as authorized by the second device to data associated with transcription of audio includes directing restriction, by the wireless cellular network, access to the Internet to a single Internet protocol sub-domain or to particular Internet protocol subdomains based on a particular gateway identifier stored by the second device and provided to the wireless cellular network. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein limiting data transmitted and received over the wireless cellular network as authorized by the second device to data associated with transcription of audio includes: monitoring an amount of data received over the wireless cellular network; determining an estimated amount of data to be received over the wireless cellular network based on an amount of transcription data provided by the remote transcription system; determining a difference or ratio between the amount of data and the estimated amount of data; and in response to the difference or the ratio satisfying a threshold, restricting usage of the remote transcription system of a user associated with the first device and the second device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein limiting data transmitted and received over the wireless cellular network as authorized by the second device to data associated with transcription of audio includes: hosting, by the first device, a second short-range wireless network; accessing, by the second device, the second short-range wireless network; and in response to accessing the second short-range wireless network, negotiating a connection between the first device and the second device using the short-range wireless network hosted by the second device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the short-range wireless network is a closed wireless network. ### Claim 10 At least one non-transitory computer-readable media configured to store one or more instructions that, in response to being executed by a system, cause or direct the system to perform operations comprising: obtaining, at a first device, audio data during a communication session between the first device and a remote device, the audio data obtained from a public switched telephone network;
