Abstract
One or more embodiments described herein include methods and systems of creating transcribed electronic communications based on sound inputs. More specifically, systems and methods described herein provide users the ability to easily and effectively send an electronic communication that includes a textual message transcribed from a sound input. Additionally, systems and methods described herein provide an analysis of a textual message transcribed from a sound input allowing users to correct an inaccurate or incorrect transcription.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- providing a messaging graphical user interface comprising a communication thread comprising a plurality of electronic messages exchanged between a user and one or more co-users;
- and
- detecting a selection of a sound recording control from the messaging graphical user interface;
- in response to the detected selection of the sound recording control, recording a message from the user;
- transcribing, by at least one processor, the recorded message into a textual message;
- sending, to one or more co-users, the recorded message and the transcribed textual message;
- and
- adding, by at the least one processor, the transcribed textual message and the recorded message to the communication thread.
A method comprising:
- providing a messaging graphical user interface comprising a communication thread comprising a plurality of electronic messages exchanged between a user and one or more co-users;
- recording, by at least one processor, a message from the user;
- transcribing, by the at least one processor, the recorded message into a textual message;
- sending to one or more co-users the recorded message and the transcribed textual message;
- adding the transcribed textual message and the recorded message to the communication thread;
- and
- providing, within the transcribed textual message added to the communication thread, an analysis of the transcribed textual message.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computer system to:
- provide a messaging graphical user interface comprising:
- a communication thread comprising a plurality of electronic messages exchanged between a user and one or more co-users;
- and
- a message input control area;
- detect a selection of a sound recording control from within the message input control area;
- in response to the detected selection of the sound recording control, record a message from the user;
- transcribe the message recorded from the user into a textual message;
- send the message recorded from the user and the transcribed textual message;
- and
- add the transcribed textual message and a playback control capable of playing the message recorded from the user to the communication thread.
