Real-Time Audio Transcription, Video Conferencing, and Online Collaboration System and Methods

摘要

A real-time audio transcription, video conferencing, and online collaboration system system includes a microphone that records audio from a lecturer, a camera that captures video from the lecturer and/or users, and a user interface for viewing a transcription of the audio. The audio recording is transmitted to a storage device, such as a personal computer or mobile device, which transmits the audio to a voice-to-text application for transcription. The storage device may do so via a third-party cloud server, a web application, or a software application. The transcribed text is then transmitted to a user interface for viewing by hearing-impaired persons. The transcribed text is provided in real-time with the lecturer and audio-recording and presented word-for-word to the user during transcription and may be edited in real-time to improve accuracy of the automatic transcription.
