Abstract
A method for switching between spoken languages during a cloud-based meeting between participants that speak and understand different languages is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a graphical user interface, a selection of a first language in which a speaker may speak during a session of the cloud-based meeting; and receiving, at the graphical user interface, a selection of a second language in which the speaker may speak during the session of the cloud-based meeting, wherein the first language and the second language are different languages.
Claims20
An apparatus for participating in a cloud-based meeting involving multiple languages, the apparatus comprising:
- a display device configured to be coupled to a local client device;
- a graphical user interface configured to be displayed on the display device, the graphical user interface including
- a control panel including a first language selector menu, a second language selector menu, and a first panel,
- wherein the first language selector menu is configured to receive a selection of a first language in which a speaker may speak during a session of the cloud-based meeting,
- wherein the second language selector menu is configured to receive a selection of a second language in which the speaker may speak during the session of the cloud-based meeting, wherein the second language selector menu is useful to a speaker with the capability of speaking two or more different languages,
- wherein the first panel is configured to display an untranslated transcription in the first language or in the second language, and
- wherein the first language and the second language are different languages;
- and
- computer hardware links connecting the local client device to multiple transcription engines assigned to the speaker for the two or more different languages in which the speaker intends to speak.
A method carried out by an apparatus for participating in a cloud-based meeting involving multiple languages, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first language selector menu of a graphical user interface, a selection of a first language in which a speaker may speak during a session of the cloud-based meeting;
- receiving, at a second language selector menu of the graphical user interface, a selection of a second language in which the speaker may speak during the session of the cloud-based meeting, wherein the first language and the second language are different languages, wherein the second language selector menu is useful to a speaker with the capability of speaking two or more different languages;
- and
- receiving, at a first panel of the graphical user interface, an untranslated transcription in the first language or in the second language, wherein computer hardware links to multiple transcription engines are assigned to the speaker for the two or more different languages in which the speaker intends to speak.
