Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for automatically linking a note to a transcript of a conference. According to one of the embodiments a computer-implemented method is provided. The method comprises: receiving a transcript of a conference and a note from a conference participant; responsive to receiving the transcript of the conference and the note, applying a natural language processing on a content of the note and on a content of the transcript; identifying a matching content between the content of the note and the content of the transcript; generating a link corresponding to the matching content; and causing to display the link corresponding to the matching content.

Claims (63)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving a transcript of a conference;

receiving a note prepared by a conference participant,

wherein the note is separate from one or more contents of the conference;

responsive to receiving the transcript of the conference and the note, applying a natural language processing on a content of the note and on a content of the transcript;

comparing the content of the transcript to the content of the note;

identifying a matching content between the content of the note and the content of the transcript based on the natural language processing of the content of the note and the content of the transcript;

generating a link, wherein the link associates the matching content in the note with the matching content in the transcript; and

causing to display the link.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transcript is received prior to the note.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein receiving the transcript comprises accessing a text of the transcript of a terminated conference.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the note is received prior to the transcript.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein receiving the transcript comprises:

performing speech recognition of an audio stream of an ongoing conference to generate a recognized speech;

collecting the recognized speech as a text of the transcript; and

accessing the text of the transcript.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises:

notifying the conference participant about the generated link; and

causing to display the content of the note corresponding to the generated link.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the note is storable as a file and the link is recorded in the file.

8. A system, comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to:

receive a transcript of a conference;

receive a note prepared separately from the one or more contents of the conference, before the conference, by a conference participant,

wherein the note is separate from the one or more contents of the conference;

responsive to receiving the transcript of the conference and the note, apply a natural language processing on a content of the note and on a content of the transcript;

compare the content of the transcript to the content of the note;

identify a matching content between the content of the note and the content of the transcript based on the natural language processing of the content of the note and the content of the transcript;

generate a link, wherein the link associates the matching content in the note with the matching content in the transcript; and

causing to display the link.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor further configured to execute the instructions to receive the transcript prior to the note.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor further configured to execute the instructions to receive transcript by accessing a text of the transcript of a terminated conference.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor further configured to execute the instructions to receive the note prior to the transcript.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor further configured to execute the instructions to receive the transcript by

performing speech recognition of an audio stream of an ongoing conference to generate a recognized speech;

collecting the recognized speech as a text of the transcript; and

accessing the text of the transcript.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the processor further configured to execute the instructions to:

notify the participant about the generated link; and

cause to display the content of the note corresponding to the generated link.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the note is storable in the memory as a file and the link is recorded in the file.

15. A web-based server, comprising:

a memory storing a set of instructions and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to:

receive a transcript of a conference;

receive a note prepared separately from the one or more contents of the conference, after the conference, by a conference participant,

wherein the note is separate from the one or more contents of the conference;

responsive to receiving the transcript of the conference and the note, apply a natural language processing on a content of the note and on a content of the transcript;

compare the content of the transcript to the content of the note;

identify a matching content between the content of the note and the content of the transcript based on the natural language processing of the content of the note and the content of the transcript;

generate a link, wherein the link associates the matching content in the note with the matching content in the transcript; and

causing to display the link.

16. The web-based server of claim 15 , wherein the processor further configured to execute the instructions to receive the transcript prior to the note.

17. The web-based server of claim 15 , wherein the processor further configured to execute the instructions to receive the note prior to the transcript.

18. The web-based server of claim 17 , wherein the processor further configured to execute the instructions to receive the transcript by

performing speech recognition of an audio stream of an ongoing conference to generate a recognized speech;

collecting the recognized speech as a text of the transcript; and

accessing the text of the transcript.

19. The web-based server of claim 17 , wherein the processor further configured to execute the instructions to:

notify the participant about the generated link; and

cause to display the content of the note corresponding to the generated link.

20. The web-based server of claim 15 , wherein the note is storable in the memory as a file and the link is recorded in the file.
