Embodiments of a method and/or system of transmitting and/or receiving data is disclosed.

A method for coordinating actions between an audio channel and a synchronized non-audio channel includes receiving an indication of a start of a session associated with a user and having an audio channel that is synchronized with a non-audio channel. Thereafter, repeated determinations are made as to whether a prompt on the non-audio channel has been received from the user. In response to each determination that the prompt on the non-audio channel has not been received from the user, a signal is sent to cause an inaudible output on the audio channel to the user. In response to a determination that the prompt on the non-audio channel has been received from the user, an audible output is selected based on an activity by the user on the non-audio channel, and a signal is sent to cause the audible output to be output on the audio channel.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can be configured to determine first audio associated with a first user and second audio associated with a second user, the first user and the second user associated with a communication session. The second audio can be muted based on a determination that the first audio and the second audio overlap. The second audio can be provided based on completion of the first audio.

A method, apparatus, and product comprising synchronizing an audio-based performance between groups of participants, wherein the audio-based performance is streamed in real time via a virtual conference system, wherein at least some participants of the groups are physically located in remote locations, wherein the groups are ordered in accordance with a pre-determined order, wherein the pre-determined order indicates that a first group immediately precedes a second group, wherein the pre-determined order indicates that the second group immediately precedes a third group, wherein said synchronizing comprises: obtaining a first audio stream from the first group; providing the first audio stream to the second group; obtaining a second audio stream from the second group; and providing the second audio stream to the third group.

Systems and methods for synchronizing screen highlights and voice-over are disclosed. A system obtains a text container queued to be audibly read by a screen reader where the text container includes plain text and hyperlinks. The system determines each accessibility element in the text container, where each of the accessibility elements has one or more old accessibility frames associated with a screen highlight of a plain text or a hyperlink of the accessibility element, and where the screen highlight indicates what is being audibly read by the screen reader. For each of the accessibility elements, the system: determines one or more frames that captures the plain text or the hyperlink of the accessibility element to an exclusion of a plain text or a hyperlink corresponding to another accessibility element; converts the frames into a new accessibility frame; and replaces the old accessibility frame with the new accessibility frame.

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.

A real-time call translation system and method is provided. The invention provides establishing a voice call between a user speaking a source language and another user understanding and speaking a different target language; and performing translation of the audio of the source user into audio in the target language, and translation of the audio of the target user back to audio in the source language during the call. Further, the invention provides interlacing of the audio of the source user, the target user and the translated audio; in which the listener first hears the original audio from the other participant and then the associated translated audio and the speaker synchronously also hears the translated audio. Further the interlacing provides participants a better understanding of the conversation and conversational flow. Further the method facilitates better translations and clearer transcription, as the audio streams are not overlapped, and further noise and interference are reduced in the audio streams.

A method for maintaining contact information in a hearing impaired assisted user's communication device includes the steps of (a) providing a web site for altering assisted user contact information, (b) linking a proxy device to the web site, (c) receiving an identifier associated with the assisted user's device via the proxy device, (d) identifying an assisted user's device via the received identifier, (e) enabling the proxy device to be used to modify contact information for the assisted user associated with the received identifier, (f) starting a timer to time out a sync timeout period, (g) during the sync timeout period, receiving an indication via the assisted user's device confirming a desire to update the assisted user's contact information, (h) updating the assisted user's contact information, and (i) at the end of the timeout period, ceasing an indication that updated data is ready to be used from the assisted user's device.
