## Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for sending information during a call. In one embodiment, an individual receives a request for information while using a device. The requested information is located on the device in use. Sending the requested information involves utilizing hovering gestures, recording audio, converting recorded audio to text, and correlating recorded audio with the text. Extracting the requested information may include deleting extraneous information and accounting for inconsistencies in pronunciation.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for sending information during a call, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a user gesture during a call;
receiving, by one or more processors, a user selection associated with a requested piece of information;
responsive to receiving the user selection, recording, by one or more processors, a portion of a conversation;
converting, by one or more processors, the recorded portion of the conversation to text; and
sending, by one or more processors, the requested piece of information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the user gesture comprises:
a gyroscopic data shift or a user input.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the user selection comprises:
a hover gesture near a display; or
a touch contact with a display.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
detailing, by one or more processors, the user selection associated with the requested piece of information as a set of XML data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein recording a portion of a conversation comprises:
initiating, by one or more processors, an audio module responsive to receiving a user gesture; and
stopping, by one or more processors, the audio module responsive to detecting at least one preconfigured user gesture, wherein the at least one preconfigured user gesture comprises at least one of: a touch gesture and a spoken keyword.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein converting the recorded portion of the conversation to text, comprises:
comparing, by one or more processors, the set of XML data to a set of elements associated with a converted recorded portion of the conversation; and
detecting, by one or more processors, a portion of the set of XML data which is substantially similar to the set of elements associated with the converted recorded portion of the conversation.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, further comprising:
deleting, by one or more processors, a first set of information from the set of XML data, responsive to detecting a portion of the set of XML data is not substantially similar to the set of elements associated with the converted recorded portion of the conversation; and
extracting, by one or more processors, a second set of information from the set of XML data, responsive to detecting a portion of the set of XML data is substantially similar to the set of elements associated with the converted recorded portion of the conversation.

### Claim 8

A computer program product for sending information during a call, the computer program product comprising:
a computer readable storage medium and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive a user gesture during a call;
program instructions to receive a user selection associated with a requested piece of information;
responsive to receiving the user selection, program instructions to record a portion of a conversation;
program instructions to convert the recorded portion of the conversation to text; and
program instructions to send the requested piece of information to another device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the user gesture comprises:
a gyroscopic data shift or a user input.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the user selection comprises:
a hover gesture near a display; or
a touch contact with a display.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The computer program product of claim 8, further comprising:
program instructions to detail the user selection associated with the requested piece of information as a set of XML data.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The computer program product of claim 8, wherein program instructions to record a portion of a conversation comprise:
program instructions to initiate an audio module responsive to receiving a user gesture; and
program instructions to stop the audio module responsive to detecting at least one preconfigured user gesture, wherein the at least one preconfigured user gesture comprises at least one of: a touch gesture and a spoken keyword.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The computer program product of claim 11, wherein program instructions to convert the recorded portion of the conversation to text comprise:
program instructions to compare the set of XML data to a set of elements associated with a converted recorded portion of the conversation; and
program instructions to detect a portion of the set of XML data which is substantially similar to the set of elements associated with the converted recorded portion of the conversation.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The computer program product of claim 13, further comprising:
program instructions to delete a first set of information from the set of XML data, responsive to detecting a portion of the set of XML data is not substantially similar to the set of elements associated with the converted recorded portion of the conversation; and
program instructions to extract a second set of information from the set of XML data, responsive to detecting a portion of the set of XML data is substantially similar to the set of elements associated with the converted recorded portion of the conversation.

### Claim 15
