Abstract
Systems and methods for generating encoded text representations of spoken utterances are disclosed. Audio data is received for a spoken utterance and analyzed to identify a nonverbal characteristic, such as a sentiment, a speaking rate, or a volume. An encoded text representation of the spoken utterance is generated, comprising a text transcription and a visual representation of the nonverbal characteristic. The visual representation comprises a geometric element, such as a graph or shape, or a variation in a text attribute, such as font, font size, or color. Analysis of the audio data and/or generation of the encoded text representation can be performed using machine learning.
Claims22
1-6. (canceled)
A mobile device for generating encoded text to convey nonverbal meaning based on audio inputs, the mobile device comprising:
- at least one hardware processor;
- at least one wireless transceiver;
- at least one hardware display screen;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory carrying instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the mobile device to:
- receive audio data for a spoken utterance;
- analyze the audio data using a text encoding model to identify a nonverbal characteristic of the spoken utterance,
- wherein the nonverbal characteristic includes a sentiment and a speaking rate or a volume;
- generate, by the text encoding model, an encoded text representation of the spoken utterance,
- wherein the encoded text representation comprises a text transcription of the spoken utterance and a visual representation of the nonverbal characteristic of the spoken utterance, and
- wherein the visual representation comprises a geometric element or a variation in a text attribute;
- generate, based on the nonverbal characteristic of the spoken utterance, a prompt to input a second spoken utterance comprising at least one suggestion for changes to one or more different nonverbal characteristics indicative of a different sentiment;
- and
- cause display, on the at least one hardware display screen, of the generated encoded text representation and the prompt.
15-20. (canceled)
A method for generating encoded text representations to convey nonverbal information based on audio inputs, the method comprising:
- receiving audio data for a spoken utterance;
- analyzing the audio data using a text encoding model to identify a nonverbal characteristic of the spoken utterance,
- wherein the nonverbal characteristic includes a sentiment and a speaking rate or a volume;
- generating, by the text encoding model, an encoded text representation of the spoken utterance,
- wherein the encoded text representation comprises a text transcription of the spoken utterance and a visual representation of the nonverbal characteristic of the spoken utterance, and
- wherein the visual representation comprises a geometric element or a variation in a text attribute;
- generating, based on the identified nonverbal characteristic of the spoken utterance, a prompt to input a second spoken utterance comprising at least one suggestion for changes to one or more different nonverbal characteristics indicative of a different sentiment;
- and
- causing display, via a user interface, of the generated encoded text representation and the prompt.
At least one computer-readable medium, excluding transitory signals, carrying instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations to generate encoded text to convey nonverbal information based on audio inputs, the operations comprising:
- receiving audio data for a spoken utterance;
- analyzing the audio data using a text encoding model to identify a nonverbal characteristic of the spoken utterance,
- wherein the nonverbal characteristic includes a sentiment and a speaking rate or a volume;
- generating, by the text encoding model, an encoded text representation of the spoken utterance,
- wherein the encoded text representation comprises a text transcription of the spoken utterance and a visual representation of the nonverbal characteristic of the spoken utterance, and
- wherein the visual representation comprises a geometric element or a variation in a text attribute;
- generate, based on the identified nonverbal characteristic of the spoken utterance, a prompt to input a second spoken utterance comprising at least one suggestion for changes to one or more different nonverbal characteristics indicative of a different sentiment;
- and
- cause display of the generated encoded text representation and the prompt.
