Abstract

A method to transcribe communications is provided. The method may include obtaining first communication data during a communication session between a first communication device and a second communication device and transmitting the first communication data to the second communication device by way of a mobile device that is locally coupled with the first communication device. The method may also include receiving, at the first communication device, second communication data from the second communication device through the mobile device and transmitting the second communication data to a remote transcription system. The method may further include receiving, at the first communication device, transcription data from the remote transcription system, the transcription data corresponding to a transcription of the second communication data, the transcription generated by the remote transcription system and presenting, by the first communication device, the transcription of the second communication data.

Claims (39)

1. A method to transcribe communications, the method comprising:

obtaining, at a first communication device, first communication data during a communication session between the first communication device and a second communication device;

transmitting the first communication data to the second communication device by way of a device that is locally coupled with the first communication device;

receiving, at the first communication device, second communication data from the second communication device through the device;

transmitting the second communication data to a remote transcription system;

receiving, at the first communication device, transcription data from the remote transcription system, the transcription data corresponding to a transcription of the second communication data, the transcription generated by the remote transcription system; and

presenting, by the first communication device, the transcription of the second communication data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second communication data includes audio data or the audio data and video data.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein when the second communication data includes the audio data and the video data, only the audio data is transmitted to the remote transcription system.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing local communication between a first communication device and the device in a sync mode.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein establishing local communication between the first communication device and the device in the sync mode is responsive to at least one of the device or the first communication device automatically detecting a presence of another of the at least one of the device or the first communication device without user input.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising disabling communication between the first communication device and the device responsive to exiting the sync mode while maintaining communication between the second communication device and the device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transcription data is received at the first communication device without routing the transcription data through the device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transcription data is received at the first communication device after routing the transcription data through the device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the second communication data to the remote transcription system includes routing the second communication data through the device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second communication data is transmitted to the remote transcription system without routing the second communication data through the device.

11. A method to transcribe communications, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a first device, first communication data;

transmitting, by the first device, the first communication data to a communication device during a communication session between the first device and the communication device;

receiving, at the first device, second communication data from the communication device;

transmitting the second communication data from the first device to a second device that is locally coupled with the first device;

transmitting, from the second device, the second communication data to a remote transcription system;

receiving, at the second device, transcription data from the remote transcription system, the transcription data corresponding to a transcription, generated by the remote transcription system, of the second communication data; and

presenting the transcription of the second communication data.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising presenting the second communication data by the first device.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first device is a mobile device and the second device is a caption device.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the transcription is presented by the second device.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second communication data includes audio data or the audio data and video data.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein when the second communication data includes the audio data and the video data, only the audio data is transmitted to the second device and the remote transcription system.

17. A method to transcribe communications, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a first device, first communication data;

transmitting, by the first device, the first communication data to a communication device during a communication session between the first device and the communication device;

receiving, at the first device, second communication data from the communication device;

transmitting the second communication data to a remote transcription system;

receiving, at a second device, transcription data from the remote transcription system, the transcription data corresponding to a transcription, generated by the remote transcription system, of the second communication data; and

presenting, by the second device, the transcription of the second communication data.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the second communication data includes audio data or the audio data and video data.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the first device is a mobile device and the second device is a caption device.

20. The method of claim 17 , further comprising presenting the second communication data by the first device.
