Abstract
An Automatic Channel Selective Transcription Engine (ACSTE) is provided that is capable of establishing a telephone call that provides automatic transcription of the voice signals of the different parties to the telephone call even during periods, in the telephone call, where two or more of the parties are speaking simultaneously. The ACSTE has access to the transmit voice signals of each of the parties to the telephone call. Each of the transmit voice signals is transmitted through its respective transmit voice channel. The transmit voice signals are processed, isolated and transcribed automatically to become associated text signals, which are transmitted over text channels to corresponding parties to the telephone call.
Claims14
An Automatic Channel Selective Transcription Engine (ACSTE) comprising:
- a signal buffer capable of obtaining access to transmit voice signals of transmit voice channels of one or more telephone calls established by the ACSTE and replicating the transmit voice signals of each of the one or more telephone calls;
- a signal processor coupled to the signal buffer and capable of processing the replicated transmit voice signals received from the signal buffer and isolate the transmit voice signals from each other;
- and
- a transcription processor coupled to the signal processor whereby the transcription processor transcribes automatically each isolated replicated and processed transmit voice signal received from the signal processor into associated text signals transmitted to corresponding parties to the one or more telephone calls established by the ACSTE.
A method for processing signals of a telephone call, the method comprising:
- accessing transmitted voice signals of each party to the telephone call;
- replicating each of the accessed signals;
- isolating the replicated signals from each other;
- and
- transcribing each isolated signal into an associated text signal for transmission over a text channel of a party to the telephone call.
