Adaptive interactive voice response system
An interactive voice adapter for adaptive voice routing may establish a real-time communication session between a voice communication client and a text communication client and the voice adapter may receive the audio stream and the text information. The voice adapter may obtain adapted natural language text corresponding to the natural language audio by selectively accessing a speech-to-text service based on a selection criteria. The voice adapter may obtain adapted natural language audio corresponding to the natural language text by selectively accessing a text-to-speech service based on the selection criteria. The voice adapter may communicate the adapted natural language text to the text communication client and the adapted natural language audio to the voice communication client.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF HANDLING SPEECH AUDIO STREAM INTERRUPTIONS
A device for communication includes one or more processors configured to receive, during an online meeting, a speech audio stream representing speech of a first user. The one or more processors are also configured to receive a text stream representing the speech of the first user. The one or more processors are further configured to selectively generate an output based on the text stream in response to an interruption in the speech audio stream.
CONTEXT BASED CHANNEL SWITCHOVER
The present disclosure provides, among other things, methods and systems of managing a first channel, including: receiving a request for a communication session on the first channel; determining that a monitored attribute of the communication session has met a first threshold; comparing, by a channel change analysis, a first performance measure of the first channel with a second performance measure of a second channel; and managing a channel change based on the determining and the channel change analysis.
System and method for tracking and archiving mobile communications
A method and system for tracking electronic communications between a customer phone and a user mobile device for compliance with regulations are provided. The system includes a server configured to send an email to an Enterprise Information Archiving system capable of archiving the email for at least one of eDiscovery and compliance with one or more regulations. The server can associate a virtual phone number with a mobile app residing on a user mobile device and to either: (i) receive a communication originated from the mobile app and intended for a customer phone, and send the communication the customer phone; or (ii) receive a communication originated from a customer phone and sent by the customer phone to the virtual phone number, and send the communication to the mobile app. The server also is configured to include content from the communication in the email.
Improved messaging system
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.
Information management and synchronous communications system
An information management and synchronous communications system and method facilitates database equilibrium and synchronization with wired, wireless, and Web-based systems, user-friendly and efficient generation of computerized menus and reservations with handwritten/voice modifications for restaurants and other applications that utilize equipment with nonstandard graphical formats, display sizes and/or applications for use in remote data entry, information management and communication with host computer, digital input device or remote pager via standard hardwired connection, the internet, a wireless link, printer, or the like. Various operations employing automated telephone calls and/or messaging may, for instance, be performed. For example, desired reservation and/or appointment information may be automatically converted and conveyed to one or more entities via automated telephone call and/or messaging. As another example, information regarding reservation acceptability may be received and automatically converted via automated telephone can and/or messaging. Telephones may, for instance, be the only equipment required by the entities.
SEMIAUTOMATED RELAY METHOD AND APPARATUS
A captioning relay for captioning hearing user (HU) voice signals comprising a plurality of separate captioning resources and a captioning administrator module that receives HU voice signal segments corresponding to a plurality of separate ongoing calls between HUs and AUs and provides the voice signal segments in a first in, first out order to the captioning resources, the administrator module providing each voice signal segment from each call to any one of the captioning resources to be captioned without regard to which captioning resource captioned prior voice signal segments generated during the call and, the administrator module further receiving caption segments back from the captioning resources and providing those captioning segments to AU devices associated with the calls that generated corresponding HU voice signal segments, and wherein the number of captioning resources is less than the number of ongoing calls.
SCREEN FOCUS AREA AND VOICE-OVER SYNCHRONIZATION FOR ACCESSIBILITY
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.
Secure text-to-voice messaging
A personal voice model is created using a person's voice, essentially, voice cloning. When user wants to send a message to another person from his mobile phone or similar device, the user types the message and it is converted to a speech message using the voice model created. The speech message is delivered either to a voicemail or another medium which accepts a voice message. The text can be converted to a different language as well and send a voice message in a different language.
