Speech to message processing
View Patent ↗Voice message processors are configured to produce text representations of voice messages. The text representations can be compacted based on one or more abbreviation libraries or rule libraries. Abbreviation processing can be applied to produce a compact text representation based on display properties of a destination device or to enhance user perception. Text representation length can be reduced based on abbreviations in a standard abbreviation list, a user specific abbreviation list, or a combination of standard and custom lists. In some examples, text length is shortened based on stored rules.
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions recorded thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, comprising:
receiving a voice message;
identifying at least one of a sender of the voice message, a message class to which the voice message belongs, and a message profile associated with the voice message;
selecting an abbreviation library associated with at least one of the sender of the voice message, the message class to which the voice message belongs, and the message profile associated with the voice message;
producing a text representation of the voice message; and
compacting the text representation using the selected abbreviation library to produce a compact text representation, wherein the compact text representation includes an abbreviation from the selected abbreviation library, and wherein an extent to which the voice message is compacted is based on network capacity.
2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit the compact text representation.
3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to assign a message identifier to the voice message.
4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit the compact text representation responsive to a request for delivery of the voice message.
5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit the compact text representation responsive to receipt of the message identifier assigned to the voice message.
6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit a source text associated with the compact text representation.
7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit an expanded text associated with the compact text representation.
8. A device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method, comprising:
receiving a voice message;
identifying at least one of a sender of the voice message, a message class to which the voice message belongs, and a message profile associated with the voice message;
selecting an abbreviation library associated with at least one of the sender of the voice message, the message class to which the voice message belongs, and the message profile associated with the voice message;
producing a text representation of the voice message; and
compacting the text representation using the selected abbreviation library to produce a compact text representation, wherein the compact text representation includes an abbreviation from the selected abbreviation library, and wherein an extent to which the voice message is compacted is based on network capacity.
9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit the compact text representation.
10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to assign a message identifier to the voice message.
11. The device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit the compact text representation responsive to a request for delivery of the voice message.
12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit the compact text representation responsive to receipt of the message identifier assigned to the voice message.
13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit a source text associated with the compact text representation.
14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to transmit an expanded text associated with the compact text representation.
15. A method, comprising:
receiving a voice message;
identifying, by a processor, at least one of a sender of the voice message, a message class to which the voice message belongs, and a message profile associated with the voice message;
selecting, by the processor, an abbreviation library associated with at least one of the sender of the voice message, the message class to which the voice message belongs, and the message profile associated with the voice message;
producing, by the processor, a text representation of the voice message; and
compacting, by the processor, the text representation using the selected abbreviation library to produce a compact text representation, wherein the compact text representation includes an abbreviation from the selected abbreviation library, and wherein an extent to which the voice message is compacted is based on network capacity.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising transmitting the compact text representation, wherein the compact text representation is transmitted responsive to a request for delivery of the voice message.
17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising assigning a message identifier to the voice message.
18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising transmitting the compact text representation, wherein the compact text representation is transmitted responsive to receipt of the message identifier assigned to the voice message.
19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising transmitting a source text associated with the compact text representation.
20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising transmitting an expanded text associated with the compact text representation.
