    摘要: A method may include obtaining an indicator that a first device is in a location of a second device and in response to obtaining the indicator, sending a redirect request to a communication service provider of the first device to direct, to the second device, incoming communication requests handled by the communication service provider that are directed to the first device. The method may further include after sending the redirect request and after a communication request to a communication session is directed to the first device, obtaining, at the second device, a communication indication to participate in the communication session. The method may further include directing audio of the communication session to a transcription system and obtaining, at the second device, the transcription of the audio from the transcription system. The method may also include presenting, by the second device, the audio and the transcription.

    摘要: A method to generate a contact list may include receiving an identifier of a first communication device at a captioning system. The first communication device may be configured to provide first audio data to a second communication device. The second communication device may be configured to receive first text data of the first audio data from the captioning system. The method may further include receiving and storing contact data from each of multiple communication devices at the captioning system. The method may further include selecting the contact data from the multiple communication devices that include the identifier of the first communication device as selected contact data and generating a contact list based on the selected contact data. The method may also include sending the contact list to the first communication device to provide the contact list as contacts for presentation on an electronic display of the first communication device.

    摘要: A method of transcription communication may include obtaining, at a first device, audio data during a communication session between the first device and a remote device. The audio data may be obtained from a public switched telephone network. The method may also include directing the audio data from the first device to a second device over a short-range wireless network. The second device may host the short-range wireless network. The method may further include directing the audio data from the second device to a remote transcription system over a wireless cellular network and obtaining, at the second device, transcript data from the remote transcription system over the wireless cellular network. The method may also include limiting data transmitted and received over the wireless cellular network as authorized by the second device to data associated with transcription of audio obtained by the first device over the public switched telephone network.

    摘要: A method to present communications is provided. The method may include obtaining, at a device, a request from a user to play back a stored message that includes audio. In response to obtaining the request, the method may include directing the audio of the message to a transcription system from the device. In these and other embodiments, the transcription system may be configured to generate text that is a transcription of the audio in real-time. The method may further include obtaining, at the device, the text from the transcription system and presenting, by the device, the text generated by the transcription system in real-time. In response to obtaining the text from the transcription system, the method may also include presenting, by the device, the audio such that the text as presented is substantially aligned with the audio.

    摘要: A facemask system with automated voice display is disclosed. The facemask includes a covering configured to be positioned about the face of a user. At least one microphone is positioned adjacent the covering and the facemask includes a display for displaying language spoken captured by at least one microphone. A processor is in operable communication with the microphone and the display. The facemask includes a memory that contains instructions that can be executed by the processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving signals from at least one microphone, identifying language contained within the signals, and displaying the language on the display.

    摘要: Operations related to performing gain operations with respect to a receive-path signal of a first device may be performed. The operations may include obtaining the receive-path signal, which includes an echo speech signal and a receive speech signal originating at a second device. In addition, the operations may include identifying a portion of the receive-path signal that includes, at a particular time, a first frequency component that corresponds to the echo speech signal and a second frequency component that corresponds to the receive speech signal in which the first frequency component is different from the second frequency component. Moreover, the operations may include attenuating the first frequency component of the portion while avoiding attenuating the second frequency component of the portion based on the first frequency component corresponding to the echo speech signal and the second frequency component corresponding to the receive speech signal.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for autofocusing cameras in a videophone are disclosed. A videophone system may include a camera having a lens, a lens actuator configured to move the lens, and an image sensor configured to capture images received through the lens. The videophone system may also include a distance sensor configured to determine an object of focus distance between the camera lens and the object of focus. The system includes memory for storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the camera lens to automatically focus on the object of focus. The processor includes a lookup table configured to corelate an object of focus distance determined by the distance sensor with a digital number that can be converted by a digital to analog converter to a power value sufficient to power lens actuator to move the lens to a predetermined focus position. The lookup table is configured to correlate an object of focus distance returned by the distance sensor with a digital number representing a lens position, such that the object of focus falls within a depth of field about a focal plane corresponding to the lens position.

    摘要: A method may include obtaining a text string that is a transcription of audio data and selecting a sequence of words from the text string as a first word sequence. The method may further include encrypting the first word sequence and comparing the encrypted first word sequence to multiple encrypted word sequences. Each of the multiple encrypted word sequences may be associated with a corresponding one of multiple counters. The method may also include in response to the encrypted first word sequence corresponding to one of the multiple encrypted word sequences based on the comparison, incrementing a counter of the multiple counters associated with the one of the multiple encrypted word sequences and adapting a language model of an automatic transcription system using the multiple encrypted word sequences and the multiple counters.
