Abstract

Embodiments herein include a processing system and method for transcribing audible information, including converting audible information or data received from a user into alphanumeric data. The alphanumeric data can be processed allowing a user to provide input that improves of the accuracy of the alphanumeric data, facilitates the transfer of the alphanumeric data to other electronic devices by a computer or other electronic device, and/or improves the communicative or expressive properties of the alphanumeric data in an electronic communication that is provided to one or more users. In some embodiments, the transcribed and/or translated text can be automatically formatted by a program for use in a software application. More specifically embodiments of the present application disclose a system and program that can embellish transcribed text to alert and provide suggestions for the correction of potentially inaccurate transcribed and/or translated text, and/or provide potential emojis to add into or replace text.

Claims (26)

1 . A method of transcribing, comprising:

receiving, by a computer implemented program implemented on a first electronic device, first text data and metadata associated with the first text data, wherein the first text data comprises alphanumeric information that comprises a plurality of words in a first language;

determining that two or more words of the plurality of words in the first text data have a quality score less than a threshold quality score, and the two or more words of the plurality of words have a different quality score less than the threshold quality score; streaming, by the computer implemented program, second text data to a second electronic device and streaming the first text data and the second text data to the first electronic device, wherein the streaming the second text data comprises altering in at least two different embellished types, by the computer implemented program, the two or more of the plurality of words of the first text data based on a comparison between at least two of the plurality of words of the first text data and metadata with information stored in a database, wherein the information stored in the database comprises a list of words or phrases that are to be altered based on the quality score when presented in a stream of words, and wherein the information stored in the database comprises a list of baseline offensive language and baseline metadata, and wherein the database is updated by an external source; and

displaying, by the computer implemented program, the first and second text data on a display of the first electronic device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a moderator monitoring a conversation between a first user operating the first electronic device and a second user operating the second electronic device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second text data comprises at least one word or phrase of the plurality of words that is replaced by an emoji, bolded, italicized, underlined, highlighted, capitalized, or blurred, and wherein at least one of the at least one word or phrase is offensive or derogatory language.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the computer implemented program alters the plurality of words based on settings specified by a user operating the second electronic device, and wherein the user specifies whether the at least one word or phrase of the plurality of words are altered by at least one of bolding, italicizing, underlining, highlighting, capitalizing, blurring, or replaced by an emoji.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising translating the plurality of words into a second language, wherein the second language is a spoken language or a symbolic language.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the metadata provides contextual information provided in the alphanumeric information, and wherein the metadata comprises video data collected while receiving the text data that includes facial expressions, movement, or body language of the first user associated with each of the plurality of words.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that one or more of the plurality of words of the first text data have a quality score less than a threshold quality score and displaying the one or more words of the plurality of words in a different manner based on the quality score.

8 . A method of transcribing, comprising:

receiving, by a computer implemented program implemented on a first electronic device, first text data and metadata associated with the first text data, wherein the first text data comprises alphanumeric information that comprises a plurality of words in a first language;

determining that two words of the plurality of words in the first text data have a quality score less than a threshold quality score, and the two words of the plurality of words have a different quality score less than the threshold quality score;

streaming, by the computer implemented program, second text data to a second electronic device and streaming the first text data and the second text data to the first electronic device, wherein the streaming the second text data comprises altering, by the computer implemented program, the one or more of the plurality of words of the first text data based on a comparison between at least one of the plurality of words of the first text data and metadata with information stored in a database and translating the plurality of words of the first text data to a second language;

streaming, by the computer implemented program, third text data to the first electronic device, the third text data comprising the second text data translated back into the first language, wherein the third text data further comprises the two words of the plurality of words of the first text data having the quality score less than the threshold score and the two words comprise different embellishment types based on the quality score; and

displaying, by the computer implemented program, the first, second, and third text data on a display of the first electronic device.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein a moderator monitoring a conversation between a first user operating the first electronic device and a second user operating the second electronic device.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the computer implemented program alters the altered one or more plurality of words based on settings specified by the second user, and wherein the second user specifies whether the plurality of words are altered by at least one of bolding, italicizing, underlining, highlighting, capitalizing, blurring, or replaced by an emoji.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the metadata provides contextual information provided in the alphanumeric information, and wherein the metadata comprises video data collected while receiving the first text data that includes facial expressions, movement, or body language of the first user associated with each of the plurality of words.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the computer implemented program alters one or more of the plurality of words based on a comparison between the first text data and metadata and information stored in the database, and wherein the information stored in the database comprises a list of baseline offensive language and baseline metadata.

13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the altered one or more plurality of words comprises at least one word or phrase of the plurality of words that is replaced by an emoji, bolded, italicized, underlined, highlighted, capitalized, or blurred, and wherein at least one of the altered one or more of the plurality of words is offensive or derogatory language.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the second language is a spoken language or a symbolic language.
