Abstract
A computer program product for use with text transcribed from audio information, the computer program product residing on a computer-readable medium, includes computer-readable instructions for causing a computer to: enable defined keystroke combinations for use in editing the text transcribed from audio, the defined keystroke combinations corresponding to formatting functions identified as frequently-used functions during editing of a transcribed text; and respond to an activated keystroke combination by replacing a first format in the text document with a second format corresponding to the chosen keystroke combination.
Claims14
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions for use with text automatically transcribed from audio information using automatic speech recognition, the computer executable instructions configured to, when executed by at least one computer, cause the at least one computer to:
- respond to performance of a first keystroke combination by forming a new sentence structure including inserting a period and capitalizing a first letter of a next word following the inserted period, the first keystroke combination involving multiple keystrokes;
- and
- respond to performance of a second keystroke combination by removing a sentence structure including removing a period from the text and changing a first letter of at least one word following the removed period to lower case,
- wherein the first keystroke combination and the second keystroke combination are the same keystroke combination.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions for use with text automatically transcribed from audio information using automatic speech recognition, the computer executable instructions configured to, when executed by at least one computer, cause the at least one computer to:
- enable at least one predefined keystroke combination for use in editing the text automatically transcribed from audio, the at least one predefined keystroke combination corresponding to at least one formatting function identified as a function for use during editing of an automatically transcribed text;
- and
- respond to activation of the at least one predefined keystroke combination by performing a formatting function selected from the group consisting of:
- inserting a comma in the text and causing a cursor to jump to an end of a word located after the inserted comma;
- and
- removing a comma from the text and moving the cursor to an end of a word located after the removed comma.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions for use with text automatically transcribed from audio information using automatic speech recognition, the computer executable instructions configured to, when executed by at least one computer, cause the at least one computer to:
- respond to performance of a first predefined keystroke combination by producing a new enumerated list item;
- and
- respond to performance of a second predefined keystroke combination by removing an enumerated list item,
- wherein the first predefined keystroke combination and the second predefined keystroke combination are the same predefined keystroke combination.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions for use with text automatically transcribed from audio information using automatic speech recognition, the computer executable instructions configured to, when executed by at least one computer, cause the at least one computer to:
- respond to performance of a first keystroke combination by modifying a sequence of words to appear as a single multi-word heading;
- and
- respond to performance of a second keystroke combination by removing a multi-word heading and modifying the text to appear as plain text,
- wherein the first keystroke combination and the second keystroke combination are the same keystroke combination.
