Apparatus and method for voice call initiated texting session
A voice call conversion system includes an interactive voice response app offering the voice caller an option to engage in a texting session with an intelligent interface on an application server. A telephony server connected to the telephone network receives voice calls and communicates with the application server to initiate an interactive voice response session. The texting session can take place even if the call was placed to a landline phone number. A gateway converts text messages on a cellular network to requests on an IP network and in the opposite direction converts IP network communications to text messages on the cellular network.
TRANSCRIPTION PRESENTATION OF COMMUNICATION SESSIONS
A system is provided that includes a first network interface for a first network type and a second network interface for a second network type that is different from the first network type. The system also includes at least one processor configured to cause the system to perform operations. The operations may include obtaining, from the first network interface, audio from a communication session with a remote device established over the first network and obtaining an indication of a communication device available to participate in the communication session and direct audio obtained from the communication session to a remote transcription system. The operations may also include directing the audio to the second network interface for transmission to the communication device, obtaining transcript data from the remote transcription system based on the audio, and directing the transcript data to the second network interface for transmission to the communication device.
SEMIAUTOMATED RELAY METHOD AND APPARATUS
A method to transcribe communications includes the steps of obtaining a plurality of hypothesis transcriptions of a voice signal generated by a speech recognition system, determining consistent words that are included in at least first and second of the plurality of hypothesis transcriptions, in response to determining the consistent words, providing the consistent words to a device for presentation of the consistent words to an assisted user, and presenting the consistent words via a display screen on the device, wherein a rate of the presentation of the words on the display screen is variable.
Systems and methods for processing and presenting conversations
System and method for processing and presenting a conversation. For example, a system includes a sensor configured to capture an audio-form conversation, and a processor configured to automatically transform the audio-form conversation into a transformed conversation. The transformed conversation includes a synchronized text, and the synchronized text is synchronized with the audio-form conversation. Additionally, the system includes a presenter configured to present the transformed conversation including the synchronized text and the audio-form conversation.
Method and apparatus to manage communication
A computer-implemented system and method to manage the communication of a user are disclosed. In one embodiment, when a person tries to electronically convey a message to the user, the status of the user, the identity of the person, and the urgency of the message can be identified. The access priority of the person can be determined based on the person's identity. Then, the message can be managed using one or more rules and in view of the status of the user, the access priority of the person and the urgency of the message. In one embodiment, the message can be received by the user via a headset.
SEMIAUTOMATED RELAY METHOD AND APPARATUS
A method and system for providing captioned telephone service, the method comprising the steps of, initiating a first captioned telephone service call, during the first captioned telephone service call, creating a first set of captions using a call assistant, simultaneous with creating the first set of captions using a call assistant, creating a second set of captions using an automated speech recognition engine, comparing the first set of captions and the second set of captions using a scoring algorithm based on errors between the first and second sets of captions to generate a score for the second set of captions, in response to the score being within a predetermined threshold range, continuing the call using only the automated speech recognition engine to generate text and in response to the score being outside of the predetermined threshold range, continuing the call using a call assistant to generate captions.
Omni-channel orchestrated conversation system and virtual conversation agent for realtime contextual and orchestrated omni-channel conversation with a human and an omni-channel orchestrated conversation process for conducting realtime contextual and fluid conversation with the human by the virtual conversation agent
An omni-channel orchestrated conversation system and virtual conversation agent for realtime contextual and orchestrated omni-channel conversation with a human and an omni-channel orchestrated conversation process for conducting realtime contextual and fluid conversation with a human by a virtual conversation agent in relation to a particular domain are disclosed.
System and method for enabling dynamic multi-modal communication
A method includes receiving a first request associated with a first user account and comprising content of a first message and a first plurality of destination endpoints, and a second request associated with a second user account and comprising content of a second message and a second plurality of destination endpoints to receive the second message, generating a first list of routing options for delivering the first message to the first plurality of destination endpoints, and a second list of routing options for delivering the second message to the second plurality of destination endpoints, generating, based on the first list of routing options, one or more versions of the first message for delivery to the first plurality of endpoints, and generating, based on the second list of routing options, one or more versions of the second message for delivery to the second plurality of endpoints. The method further includes causing the one or more versions of the first message to be transmitted to the first plurality of destination endpoints, and the one or more versions of the second message to be transmitted to the second plurality of destination endpoints, and providing first access rate statistics collected by tracking access to the one or more versions of the first message by the first plurality of destination endpoints, and second access rate statistics collected by tracking access to the one or more versions of the second message by the second plurality of destination endpoints.
Messaging system with customized graphic or audio elements
A messaging system includes sender and receiver devices, and a central unit communicating therewith. The central unit communicates with a database containing first data on graphic and audio elements, which are managed by the messaging system and have first dimensions and/or degrees of detail, and software that creates, starting from the first graphic and audio elements, corresponding second graphic and audio elements of smaller dimensions and/or degrees of detail. A first software module loaded in the sender and/or receiver devices downloads one or more of the second graphic and audio elements from the central unit and uses them inside the messaging system, and provides on a display of the messaging device a first screen with a message or exchange of messages and the one or more second graphic and audio elements, which occupy an area selectable by touch or by clicking.
System and method for enabling dynamic multi-modal communication
A system and method that includes receiving a messaging request that includes communication intent parameters and a set of communication destinations, wherein the messaging request is authenticated as a request of a first account; dynamically transforming messages according to individual communication destinations, wherein for the set of communication destinations: selecting a communication mode according to communication intent parameters, transforming content of the messaging request, and transmitting transformed content to a destination endpoint in the selected communication mode.
