Abstract

A system for processing and presenting a conversation includes a sensor, a processor, and a presenter. The sensor is configured to capture an audio-form conversation. The processor is configured to automatically transform the audio-form conversation into a transformed conversation. The transformed conversation includes a synchronized text, wherein the synchronized text is synchronized with the audio-form conversation. The presenter is configured to present the transformed conversation including the synchronized text and the audio-form conversation. The presenter is further configured to present the transformed conversation to be navigable, searchable, assignable, editable, and shareable.

Claims (31)

1. A system for processing and presenting a conversation, the system comprising:

a sensor configured to capture an audio-form conversation;

a processor configured to automatically transform the audio-form conversation into a transformed conversation, the transformed conversation including a synchronized text, the synchronized text being synchronized with the audio-form conversation; and

a presenter configured to present the transformed conversation including the synchronized text and the audio-form conversation,

wherein the presenter is further configured to present the transformed conversation to be navigable, searchable, assignable, editable, and shareable.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transformed conversation presented by the presenter is assignable to a group having one or more group members such that access to the transformed conversation is granted to the one or more group members.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more group members are automatically granted access to the transformed conversation when the transformed conversation is assigned to the group.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein changes and updates applied to the transformed conversation are viewable to the one or more group members.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the changes and updates applied to the transformed conversation are viewable to the one or more group members in real time.

6. The system of claim 2 , wherein each of the one or more group members can at least one of view, edit, and share the transformed conversation.

7. The system of claim 2 , wherein the transformed conversation is automatically assigned to a group according to conversation data including at least one of date of capture, time of capture, title of the capture, and speaker identity.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the conversation data is automatically retrieved from a synced calendar by the processor.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transformed conversation presented by the presenter includes one or more editable conversation snippets that are selectively deletable.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transformed conversation presented by the presenter includes one or more editable conversation snippets that are selectively mergeable.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transformed conversation presented by the presenter includes one or more editable conversation snippets that are selectively hidable.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transformed conversation presented by the presenter includes one or more editable conversation snippets each having a speaker label that is assignable and re-assignable.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transformed conversation presented by the presenter includes one or more shareable conversation snippets that are selectively shareable.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transformed conversation presented by the presenter includes one or more searchable conversation snippets.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein a searchable conversation snippet returned as a search result entry in response to a search is configured to lead to the conversation snippet for viewing.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is further configured to capture a voiceprint calibration recording to help establish a voiceprint of a user.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the presenter is further configured to present a voiceprint calibration script for the user to read to help create the voiceprint calibration recording.

18. A computer-implemented method for processing and presenting a conversation, the method comprising:

receiving an audio-form conversation;

automatically transforming the audio-form conversation into a transformed conversation, the transformed conversation including a synchronized text, the synchronized text being synchronized with the audio-form conversation; and

presenting the transformed conversation including the synchronized text and the audio-form conversation,

wherein the presenting the transformed conversation including the synchronized text and the audio-form conversation includes presenting the transformed conversation to be navigable, searchable, assignable, editable, and shareable.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon, that when executed by a processor, perform processes comprising:

receiving an audio-form conversation;

automatically transforming the audio-form conversation into a transformed conversation, the transformed conversation including a synchronized text, the synchronized text being synchronized with the audio-form conversation; and

presenting the transformed conversation including the synchronized text and the audio-form conversation,

wherein the presenting the transformed conversation including the synchronized text and the audio-form conversation includes presenting the transformed conversation to be navigable, searchable, assignable, editable, and shareable.
