Method and system for providing an automated web transcription service
View Patent ↗A system, method and computer readable medium that provides an automated web transcription service is disclosed. The method may include receiving input speech from a user using a communications network, recognizing the received input speech, understanding the recognized speech, transcribing the understood speech to text, storing the transcribed text in a database, receiving a request via a web page to display the transcribed text, retrieving transcribed text from the database, and displaying the transcribed text to the requester using the web page.
1. A method comprising:
upon verifying an identity of a user:
identifying, via a processor, a plurality of voice models for the user;
receiving input speech from the user, the input speech comprising a substantive portion and an instructional portion, the instructional portion related to navigation between fields in a template;
transcribing the substantive portion of the input speech to text using the plurality of models, to yield transcribed text;
inserting the transcribed text into the template, to yield a completed template; and
storing the completed template in a database; and
upon receiving a request to play a dictation for a particular word in the completed template, playing the dictation of the particular word.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request to play the dictation is made by a second user.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting a cost of the transcribed text based on an accuracy of the transcribed text.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising prompting a second user to select one of printing the transcribed text, sending the transcribed text to another party, and saving the transcribed text to a memory.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein transcribing the substantive portion of the input speech further comprises transcribing the substantive portion into a predefined document template.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein transcribing the substantive portion of the input speech further comprises highlighting the transcribed text based on recognition confidence levels.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adapting the method based on correction data and new data.
8. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
upon verifying an identity of a user:
identifying, via a processor, a plurality of voice models for the user;
receiving input speech from the user, the input speech comprising a substantive portion and an instructional portion, the instructional portion related to navigation between fields in a template;
transcribing the substantive portion of the input speech to text using the plurality of models, to yield transcribed text;
inserting the transcribed text into the template, to yield a completed template; and
storing the completed template in a database; and
upon receiving a request to play a dictation for a particular word in the completed template, playing the dictation of the particular word.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the request to play the dictation is made by a second user.
10. The system of claim 8 , the computer-readable storage medium having additional instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, result in operations comprising adjusting a cost of the transcribed text based on an accuracy of the transcribed text.
11. The system of claim 8 , the computer-readable storage medium having additional instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, result in operations comprising prompting a second user to select one of printing the transcribed text, sending the transcribed text to another party, and saving the transcribed text to a memory.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein transcribing the substantive portion of the input speech further comprises transcribing the substantive portion into a predefined document template.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein transcribing the substantive portion of the input speech further comprises highlighting the transcribed text based on recognition confidence levels.
14. The system of claim 8 , the computer-readable storage medium having additional instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, result in operations comprising adapting the method based on correction data and new data.
15. A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
upon verifying an identity of a user:
identifying, via a processor, a plurality of voice models for the user;
receiving input speech from the user, the input speech comprising a substantive portion and an instructional portion, the instructional portion related to navigation between fields in a template;
transcribing the substantive portion of the input speech to text using the plurality of models, to yield transcribed text;
inserting the transcribed text into the template, to yield a completed template; and
storing the completed template in a database; and
upon receiving a request to play a dictation for a particular word in the completed template, playing the dictation of the particular word.
16. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the request to play the dictation is made by a second user.
17. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , having additional instructions stored which, when executed by the computing device, result in operations comprising adjusting a cost of the transcribed text based on an accuracy of the transcribed text.
18. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , having additional instructions stored which, when executed by the computing device, result in operations comprising prompting a second user to select one of printing the transcribed text, sending the transcribed text to another party, and saving the transcribed text to a memory.
19. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein transcribing the substantive portion of the input speech further comprises transcribing the substantive portion into a predefined document template.
20. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein transcribing the substantive portion of the input speech further comprises highlighting the transcribed text based on recognition confidence levels.
