Distributed Device Meeting Initiation

A machine-readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor of a machine to cause the processor to perform operations to perform a method, the operations comprising:

• receiving audio streams at a meeting server from two distributed devices that are streaming audio captured during an ad-hoc meeting between at least two users;
• comparing the audio streams to determine that the audio streams are representative of sound from the ad-hoc meeting;
• generating a meeting instance to process the audio streams in response to the comparing determining that the audio streams are representative of sound from the ad-hoc meeting;
• and
• processing the received audio streams to generate a transcript of the ad-hoc meeting.

A device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory device coupled to the processor and having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving audio streams at a meeting server from two distributed devices that are streaming audio captured during an ad-hoc meeting between at least two users;
• comparing the audio streams to determine that the audio streams are representative of sound from the ad-hoc meeting;
• generating a meeting instance to process the audio streams in response to the comparing determining that the audio streams are representative of sound from the ad-hoc meeting;
• and
• processing the received audio streams to generate a transcript of the ad-hoc meeting.
