Methods and systems for audio-based polling during a conference call discussion are provided. During a conference call, a user selection of an element on a client device is detected. The element is designated to initiate audio-based polling of participants of the conference call. In response to the detection of the user selection of the element on the client device, a verbal statement provided by a first participant of the conference call is recorded. A determination is made of whether the recorded verbal statement includes a question that is to be used for audio-based polling of one or more second participants of the conference call. Responsive to a determination that the verbal statement includes the question that is to be used for audio-based polling, audio-based polling of the one or more second participants is initiated.

A caller queue system and process for a video call-in system. The system includes a waiting room server that connects to a plurality of caller devices over a network. The waiting room server may provide content to the plurality of video caller devices and collects input received from the plurality of video caller devices. A queue managing module connected to the waiting room server prioritizes or sorts the plurality of video caller devices in a queue based on the input received from the plurality of video caller devices. The system allows a user or producer to prescreen and determine the priority of the callers and accept a higher number callers to be connected to the caller queue system.

Systems and methods for recognizing polling questions from a conference call discussion are provided. One or more text strings including a textual form of one or more verbal phrases provided by one or more participants of a conference call are identified. The one or more text strings are provided as input to a trained machine learning model. One or more outputs from the trained machine learning model are obtained. A level of confidence that a verbal phrase of the one or more verbal phrase provided by the one or more participants includes a question associated with polling during the conference call is extracted from the one or more outputs. In response to a determination that the level of confidence satisfies a confidence criterion, the verbal phrase is designated as a polling question presented during the conference call.

The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for managing a digital survey over voice-capable devices. In particular, the systems and methods described herein create a digital survey question from a verbal input. Additionally, the systems and methods described herein provide the digital survey question to respondents by way of voice-capable devices. The systems and methods also receive verbal survey responses, generate survey results from the verbal responses, and provide the survey results to a survey administrator.

Systems and methods for facilitating collaboration between a local user or team in a meeting space and one or more remote users outside the meeting space are provided. The virtual co-location system may include, for example, an IOT device including sensors, a microphone, a beacon light, a speaker, a user control interface (e.g., including a control input adjusted by the local user, the user control interface producing an electronic control signal representing a setting of a control device), and/or a local microprocessor for executing local collaboration software. The virtual co-location systems and methods may also or alternatively include a remote computer having a remote microprocessor for executing remote collaboration software.

Example implementations are directed to methods and systems for curating messages from viewers to identify a question associated with a recorded video that include video data, where the question is extracted from a queue of the video data; analyze the video data to determine one or more answer segments for the question that satisfy a confidence score based on a location of the question in the recorded video; and generate an answer summary for the question with links to each of the one or more segments, where the links are ranked based on the confidence score.

One or more audio files including a recording of one or more verbal statements provided by a first participant of the conference call are obtained. A determination is made that the recorded one or more verbal statements include a question associated with audio-based polling of a set of second participants of the conference call. Response data indicating one or more responses to the question provided by at least one of the set of second participants is obtained. A report indicating one or more outcomes of the audio-based polling is generated based on at least the question and the one or more responses to the question indicated by the obtained response data.

Data indicating one or more verbal phrases provided by one or more participants during a conference call is fed as input to a machine learning model. One or more outputs of the machine learning model are obtained. A polling question for polling at least a portion of the participants is extracted from the one or more outputs of the machine learning model. The polling question is based on one or more verbal phrases provided by the one or more participants. The polling question is provided for polling the at least the portion of the participants during the conference call.

A telephone network voting system receives telephone ballots cast by voters by dialing a telephone number. The telephone number is dialed by voters spread over a large geographic area. The voting calls are routed to points of presence local to or otherwise identified with the caller by using the caller's ANI or other originating number identification. The points of presence then accumulate votes and periodically forward tallies to a centralized location over a data network. Instructions may be transmitted from the centralized location to the points of presence.

Systems and methods for facilitating collaboration between a local user or team in a meeting space and one or more remote users outside the meeting space are provided. The virtual co-location system may include, for example, an IOT device including sensors, a microphone, a beacon light, a speaker, a user control interface (e.g., including a control input adjusted by the local user, the user control interface producing an electronic control signal representing a setting of a control device), and/or a local microprocessor for executing local collaboration software. The virtual co-location systems and methods may also or alternatively include a remote computer having a remote microprocessor for executing remote collaboration software.
