Converting data between users during a data exchange session

A computing system comprising a computer processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the computer processor implements a method comprising:

• presenting, by a computer processor via a first portion of a shared screen, a shared document viewed by a plurality of users during a data exchange session of a remotely operated electronic conference;
• presenting, by said computer processor via a second portion of said shared screen, a list identifying each of said plurality of users;
• identifying, by said computer processor executing an identifying unit, a plurality of conversion candidate string representations of phoneme data items corresponding to voice data associated with said shared document by referencing a conversion dictionary defining the conversion candidate string representations for each phoneme data item of the phoneme data items;
• scoring, by said computer processor executing a scoring unit, the plurality of conversion candidate string representations displayed on a shared screen viewed by the plurality of users during a data exchange session, said scoring comprising:
• assigning a first score to a first conversion candidate string representation of the plurality of conversion candidate string representations, wherein the first conversion candidate string representation is displayed within said shared document within a predetermined range of a position of a cursor on the shared screen during reception of the voice data,
• assigning a second score to a second conversion candidate string representation of the plurality of conversion candidate string representations, wherein the second conversion candidate string representation displayed within said shared document outside of the position of the predetermined range of the curser on the shared screen during reception of the voice data, and wherein the second score is less than the first score, and
• assigning a third score to a third conversion candidate string representation of the plurality of conversion candidate string representations, wherein the third conversion candidate string representation was displayed within said shared document on the shared screen prior to reception of the voice data, and wherein the third score is less than the second score;
• selecting as text data, by said computer processor from the plurality of conversion candidate string representations, the first conversion candidate string representation, the second conversion candidate string representation, or the third conversion candidate string representation based on the first score, the second score, and the third score;
• presenting, by said computer processor via a third portion of said shared screen, the text data;
• applying, by said computer processor executing a shared history storage unit, timestamps to a document ID and associated page numbers of said shared document, wherein said timestamps are associated with a time period associated with said receiving said voice data;
• recording, by said computer processor executing said shared history storage unit, various positions of said curser with respect to said shared document occurring during said receiving said voice data;
• and
• storing, by said computer processor within said shared history storage unit, said timestamps, results of said recording, and said text data.

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a computer processor of a computing system implements a method, said method comprising:

• presenting, by a computer processor via a first portion of a shared screen, a shared document viewed by a plurality of users during a data exchange session of a remotely operated electronic conference;
• presenting, by said computer processor via a second portion of said shared screen, a list identifying each of said plurality of users;
• identifying, by said computer processor executing an identifying unit, a plurality of conversion candidate string representations of phoneme data items corresponding to voice data associated with said shared document by referencing a conversion dictionary defining the conversion candidate string representations for each phoneme data item of the phoneme data items;
• scoring, by said computer processor executing a scoring unit, the plurality of conversion candidate string representations displayed on a shared screen viewed by the plurality of users during a data exchange session, said scoring comprising:
• assigning a first score to a first conversion candidate string representation of the plurality of conversion candidate string representations, wherein the first conversion candidate string representation is displayed within said shared document within a predetermined range of a position of a cursor on the shared screen during reception of the voice data,
• assigning a second score to a second conversion candidate string representation of the plurality of conversion candidate string representations, wherein the second conversion candidate string representation is displayed within said shared document outside of the position of the predetermined range of the curser on the shared screen during reception of the voice data, and wherein the second score is less than the first score, and
• assigning a third score to a third conversion candidate string representation of the plurality of conversion candidate string representations, wherein the third conversion candidate string representation was displayed within said shared document on the shared screen prior to reception of the voice data, and wherein the third score is less than the second score;
• selecting as text data, by said computer processor from the plurality of conversion candidate string representations, the first conversion candidate string representation, the second conversion candidate string representation, or the third conversion candidate string representation based on the first score, the second score, and the third score;
• presenting, by said computer processor via a third portion of said shared screen, the text data;
• applying, by said computer processor executing a shared history storage unit, timestamps to a document ID and associated page numbers of said shared document, wherein said timestamps are associated with a time period associated with said receiving said voice data;
• recording, by said computer processor executing said shared history storage unit, various positions of said curser with respect to said shared document occurring during said receiving said voice data;
• and
• storing, by said computer processor within said shared history storage unit, said timestamps, results of said recording, and said text data.
