System and method for recording voice data and converting voice data to a text file

A system for transcribing voice data into a text file, the system comprising:

• a voice encoder to digitally encode voice data articulated by an individual, wherein encoding data comprises providing an identifier that identifies the individual articulating the voice data;
• a communication network to transmit the voice data with the identifier via a wireless connection to a remote database;
• the remote database to store the voice data and the identifier, and to receive and maintain user preferences from an individual, wherein the user preferences govern a format of content delivery to the individual and identify one of three mechanisms of transcription that is preferred by the individual;
• a transcription service that utilizes an appropriate transcription mechanism from two automated computer programs and human transcription to translate the voice data into a text file, wherein the appropriate transcription mechanism is predetermined by the individual based on the user preferences submitted to the transcription service by the individual, and wherein the preferred transcription mechanism is selected from the three transcription mechanisms based on the received user preferences that correspond with the identifier of the individual when transmitted via the communication network, wherein the two automated computer programs include speaker independent transcription, and speaker dependent transcription;
• and
• a delivery component to deliver the text file or the voice data and the text file to a communication device, wherein the delivery is based on the user preferences that correspond with the identifier.

At least one non-transitory computer readable media having embodied thereon computer readable code for causing a computer to perform a method for converting voice data into a text file, the method comprising:

• receiving voice data articulated by an individual into a voice communication device;
• transmitting the voice data through a communication network to a database such that the voice data is associated with the individual, wherein transmitting comprises transmitting the voice data and an identification of the individual from the voice communication device through a wireless communication network to the database, wherein the individual is identified by associating the voice data with a pre-calibration utilizing the individual's speech patterns;
• storing the voice data and the identification of the individual at the database;
• receiving and maintaining user preferences from the individual at the database, wherein the user preferences govern a format of content delivery to the individual and identify one of three mechanisms of transcription that is preferred by the individual;
• selecting the preferred transcription mechanism from three transcription mechanisms for processing the voice data the received user preferences that correspond with the identification of the individual providing the voice data, wherein the three transcription mechanisms are a speaker-independent transcription mechanism, a speaker-dependent transcription mechanism, and a human transcriber;
• performing a selection based on the identification of the individual providing the voice data, wherein the individual is identified by associating voice data, which is transmitted over the communications network, with a pre-calibration utilizing the individual's speech patterns;
• utilizing the preferred selected transcription mechanism for transcribing the voice data into a text file;
• delivering the text file or the voice data and the text file to a communication device, wherein delivery is based on user preferences determined by the identifier;
• and
• based on the user preferences of the individual, delivering the voice data to the communication device.
