9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the code is executable by the processor to:
generate a preview of the online location associated with the at least one URL; and
associate the preview with the interactive graphical element representing the at least one URL, the preview comprising at least one of a title, an image, and a description of the online location.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the code is executable by the processor to invoke a virtual assistant to lookup information from the online location associated with the at least one URL in response to identifying the at least one URL.
11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the code is executable by the processor to:
access the online location associated with the at least one URL; and
present content from the online location on the display device during the online presentation.
12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein processing, by the processor in real-time during the online presentation, the transcript of the received audio comprises using at least one of regular expression processing, pattern recognition processing, and natural language processing to parse the transcript to identify the at least one URL in real-time during the online presentation.
13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the interactive graphical element that is presented to the user on the display device in real-time during the online presentation is presented on one of a different window and a different frame on the display device in real-time during the online presentation;
the interactive graphical element that is presented to the user on the display device in real-time during the online presentation comprises a link to an online location corresponding to the URL; and
the online location is accessible by the user during the online presentation in response to the user actuating the link during the online presentation.
14. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a processor, audio content that is audibly presented as part of an online presentation;
generating, by the processor in real-time during the online presentation, a transcript of the received audio content;
processing, by the processor in real-time during the online presentation, the transcript of the received audio content to identify, in real-time during the online presentation, at least one uniform resource locator (“URL”) in the transcript of the received audio content as the online presentation is received in real-time;
transmitting, by the processor in real-time during the online presentation, a prompt to the presenter to confirm that the presenter would like an interactive graphical element presented to a user;
receiving, by the processor from the presenter in real-time during the online presentation, a response to the prompt; and
presenting, by the processor on a display device in real-time during the presentation, the interactive graphical element representing the at least one URL in response to the response to the prompt confirming that the presenter would like the interactive graphical element presented to the user in real-time during the online presentation,
wherein:
