Abstract

According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, operations regarding providing indications with respect to questions of a communication session may include obtaining transcript data. The transcript data may include a transcription of audio of the communication session. The operations may further include obtaining multiple questions determined to be asked during the communication session. The operations may further include determining, based on an analysis of the transcript data during the communication session, which of the questions have been asked during the communication session. In addition, the operations may include causing, during the communication session, the device involved in the communication session to indicate which of the questions have been asked.

Claims (46)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining transcript data that includes a transcription of audio of a communication session;

determining, based on an analysis of the transcript data during the communication session and based on one or more of: a user profile of a first participant of the communication session and a user profile of a second participant of the communication session, a question related to the communication session; and

directing, during the communication session, the question to a device associated with one of the first and second participants involved in the communication session for presentation of the question by the device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the question relates to a topic of the communication session.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, based on the analysis of the transcript data during the communication session, if the question has been asked during the communication session; and

directing, during the communication session, the device involved in the communication session to indicate a status regarding the question having been asked.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining a second question before the question is determined; and

analyzing the transcript data during the communication session to determine an answer to the second question,

wherein the question is determined based on the second question and the answer.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

identifying an answer data segment of the transcript data that includes the answer; and

inserting, in the answer data segment, an answer tag that indicates that the answer data segment includes the answer.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second question is obtained in response to the communication session and is determined before the communication session.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second question is determined based on a profile of the first participant of the communication session.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second question is further determined based on a profile of the second participant of the communication session.

9. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more computer-readable media configured to store instructions that in response to being executed by the one or more processors cause the system to perform operations, the operations comprising:

obtaining transcript data that includes a transcription of audio of a communication session;

determining, based on an analysis of the transcript data during the communication session and based on one or more of: a user profile of a first participant of the communication session and a user profile of a second participant of the communication session, a question related to the communication session; and

directing, during the communication session, presentation of the question to one of the first and second participants of the communication session.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the question relates to a topic of the communication session.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining, based on the analysis of the transcript data during the communication session, if the question has been asked during the communication session; and

directing, during the communication session, presentation of an indication of a status regarding the question having been asked.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

obtaining a second question before the question is determined; and

analyzing the transcript data during the communication session to determine an answer to the second question,

wherein the question is determined based on the second question and the answer.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying an answer data segment of the transcript data that includes the answer; and

inserting, in the answer data segment, an answer tag that indicates that the answer data segment includes the answer.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second question is obtained in response to the communication session and is determined before the communication session.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second question is determined based on a profile of the first participant of the communication session.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the second question is further determined based on a profile of the second participant of the communication session.

17. The system of claim 9 , wherein the question is presented by a device of the first participant, the device being separate from the system.

18. A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining a first question;

obtaining transcript data that includes a transcription of audio of a communication session;

analyzing the transcript data during the communication session to determine an answer to the first question; and

determining, based on the first question and the answer, a second question.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising directing, during the communication session, the second question to a device associated with a participant involved in the communication session for presentation of the second question by the device.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the first question is obtained in response to the communication session.
