## Abstract

A method to transcribe communications is provided. The method may include obtaining first communication data during a communication session between a first communication device and a second communication device and transmitting the first communication data to the second communication device by way of a mobile device that is locally coupled with the first communication device. The method may also include receiving, at the first communication device, second communication data from the second communication device through the mobile device and transmitting the second communication data to a remote transcription system. The method may further include receiving, at the first communication device, transcription data from the remote transcription system, the transcription data corresponding to a transcription of the second communication data, the transcription generated by the remote transcription system and presenting, by the first communication device, the transcription of the second communication data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

(canceled)

### Claim 2

A device comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more computer-readable media coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more computer-readable media configured to store instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the device to perform operations, the operation comprising:
establish local wireless communication between the device and a secondary device;
obtain an indication of a request for a communication session originating from a communication device;
obtain first communication data from the secondary device, the first communication data based on audio of a user of the device and the secondary device;
direct the first communication data to the communication device, the first communication data being part of the communication session;
obtain second communication data of the communication session originating from the communication device;
transmit the second communication data to the secondary device; and
obtain transcription data originating from a remote transcription system, the transcription data corresponding to a transcription of the second communication data, the transcription generated by the remote transcription system; and
an electronic display coupled to the one or more processors and configured to present the transcription of the second communication data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the second communication data includes audio data or the audio data and video data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The device of claim 3, wherein when the second communication data includes the audio data and the video data, the remote transcription system only receives the audio data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the local wireless communication is established between the secondary device and the device responsive to at least one of the secondary device and the device automatically detecting a presence of another of the at least one of the secondary device and the device without user input.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the operations further comprise disable communication between the secondary device and the device while communication between the communication device and the device is maintained.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the operations further comprise transmit the second communication data to the remote transcription system.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the local wireless communication is established over a Bluetooth network.

### Claim 9

A method comprising:
establishing local wireless communication between a device and a secondary device;
obtaining an indication of a request for a communication session originating from a communication device;
obtaining, at the device, first communication data from the secondary device, the first communication data based on audio of a user of the device and the secondary device;
directing the first communication data to the communication device, the first communication data being part of the communication session;
obtaining, at the device, second communication data of the communication session originating from the communication device;
transmitting, from the device, the second communication data to the secondary device;
obtaining, at the device, transcription data originating from a remote transcription system, the transcription data corresponding to a transcription of the second communication data, the transcription generated by the remote transcription system; and
presenting, by the device, the transcription of the second communication data.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the second communication data includes audio data or the audio data and video data.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein when the second communication data includes the audio data and the video data, the remote transcription system only receives the audio data.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the local wireless communication is established between the secondary device and the device responsive to at least one of the secondary device and the device automatically detecting a presence of another of the at least one of the secondary device and the device without user input.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, further comprising disabling communication between the secondary device and the device while communication between the communication device and the device is maintained.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, further comprising transmitting the second communication data to the remote transcription system.

### Claim 15 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the local wireless communication is established over a Bluetooth network.

### Claim 16 (depends on 9)

At least one non-transitory computer-readable media configured to store one or more instructions that in response to being executed by at least one computing system cause performance of the method of claim 9.

### Claim 17

A device comprising:
means for establishing local wireless communication between the device and a secondary device;
means for obtaining an indication of a request for a communication session originating from a communication device;
means for obtaining first communication data from the secondary device, the first communication data based on audio of a user of the device and the secondary device;
means for directing the first communication data to the communication device, the first communication data being part of the communication session;
means for obtaining second communication data of the communication session originating from the communication device;
means for transmitting the second communication data to the secondary device;
means for obtaining transcription data originating from a remote transcription system, the transcription data corresponding to a transcription of the second communication data, the transcription generated by the remote transcription system; and
means for presenting the transcription of the second communication data.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The device of claim 17, further comprising means for disabling communication between the secondary device and the device while communication between the communication device and the device is maintained.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

The device of claim 17, further comprising means for transmitting the second communication data to the remote transcription system.

### Claim 20 (depends on 17)

The device of claim 17, wherein the local wireless communication is established over a Bluetooth network.

### Claim 21 (depends on 17)

The device of claim 17, wherein the second communication data includes audio data or the audio data and video data.
