Transcribing audio communication sessions
A computer-implemented method to provide transcriptions of an audio communication session is disclosed. The method may include receiving audio data at a first device from a second device over a first wireless network connection of a first wireless network type and providing the audio data to a speaker of the first device for output of the audio data. The method may further include encoding the audio data at the first device based on a second wireless network type and transmitting the encoded audio data from the first device over a second wireless network of the second wireless network type.
1. A computer-implemented method to provide transcriptions of an audio communication session, the method comprising:
receiving audio data at an audio output device from a mobile device over a BLUETOOTH wireless network, the audio data received by the mobile device over a cellular wireless network;
providing the audio data to a speaker of the audio output device for output of the audio data;
encoding the audio data at the audio output device based on a wireless communication protocol;
transmitting the encoded audio data from the audio output device to the mobile device over a wireless communication network using the wireless communication protocol, the wireless communication network being different from the BLUETOOTH wireless network;
obtaining, from the mobile device at a transcription system, the audio data transmitted over the wireless communication network;
generating, at the transcription system, a transcript of the audio data; and
providing the transcript to the mobile device for output of the transcript on the mobile device, the transcript of the audio data being provided in real time.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a smartphone, laptop, or tablet.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio data is provided from the mobile device to the transcription system at least partially over the cellular wireless network.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio output device is a BLUETOOTH wireless headset that is paired with the mobile device.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein audio data is received by the mobile device over the cellular wireless network as cellular voice data.
