Apparatus and method for providing enhanced telephonic communications

A machine-readable storage device comprising executable instructions, which when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:

• detecting a presence of a first communication device engaged in a telephony communication session, wherein the first communication device is within a vicinity of a first media processor that processes media content received over a communication network for presentation on a first display device;
• transcribing audio of a portion of the telephony communication session to obtain a textual transcription for presentation on the first display device, responsive to the detecting of the presence of the first communication device engaged in the telephony communication session;
• detecting, during the telephony communication session, a presence of the first communication device in a vicinity of a second media processor that processes media content received over a communication network for presentation on a second display device;
• and
• in response to detecting the presence of the first communication device in the vicinity of the second media processor, discontinuing the presentation of the textual transcription to the first display device during the telephony communication session, wherein the textual transcription is presented on the second display device during the telephony communication session.

A method comprising:

• generating, by a system comprising a processor, a textual transcription of an audio portion of a telephony communication session for presentation at a first display device, wherein the telephony communication session is established between a first communication device and a second communication device;
• determining, by the system, during the telephony communication session, a presence of the first communication device in a vicinity of a second display device;
• and
• in response to determining the presence of the first communication device in the vicinity of the second display device:
• providing, by the system, during the telephony communication session, the textual transcription for presentation at the second display device;
• and
• terminating the presentation of the textual transcription at the first display device.
