Voice Recognition for Multifunction Internet Enabled Portable Electronic Device

Abstract

A Portable Electronic Device for telephony, electronic mail, audio, text, graphics, video, voice mail, text to voice and voice to text capability may be built into one multi-function, handheld, lightweight, transportable device. The Portable Electronic Device leverages the tremendous power of both the Intranet and the Internet. The Portable Electronic Device has a speaker and microphone to facilitate interaction between voice recognition software resident on the network server and the Portable Electronic Device. It is able to convert sound to data that can be transmitted to a network server. With the large computing/processing power of the local or network server the possibility to conduct live conversation in the same or two or more different languages is feasible. A text transcription of voice conversations and the reverse is possible.
