SYSTEM(S) AND METHOD(S) TO ENABLE MODIFICATION OF AN AUTOMATICALLY ARRANGED TRANSCRIPTION IN SMART DICTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029728 titled 'SYSTEM(S) AND METHOD(S) TO ENABLE MODIFICATION OF AN AUTOMATICALLY ARRANGED TRANSCRIPTION IN SMART DICTATION

Simplified Explanation

The described patent application relates to a method for generating a modification selectable element in a smart dictation session with an automated assistant. This element, when selected, allows the modification of a transcription that is automatically generated based on audio data capturing a spoken utterance. The transcription is automatically arranged to include spacing, punctuation, capitalization, indentations, paragraph breaks, and other arrangement operations that are not specified by the user. Subsequent selection of the modification selectable element can modify these automatic arrangement operations and/or the textual data near them.

• The patent application describes a method for generating a modification selectable element in a smart dictation session with an automated assistant.
• The modification selectable element allows the modification of a transcription generated based on audio data capturing a spoken utterance.
• The transcription is automatically arranged to include spacing, punctuation, capitalization, indentations, paragraph breaks, and other arrangement operations not specified by the user.
• Selecting the modification selectable element can modify the automatic arrangement operations and/or the textual data near them.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Smart dictation applications and software that provide automated transcription services.
• Voice recognition systems and virtual assistants that generate transcriptions based on spoken utterances.
• Text editing and formatting tools that automatically arrange transcriptions with spacing, punctuation, capitalization, indentations, and paragraph breaks.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Manual editing and formatting of transcriptions can be time-consuming and prone to errors. This technology automates the arrangement operations, saving time and improving accuracy.
• Users can easily modify transcriptions without having to manually adjust spacing, punctuation, capitalization, indentations, and paragraph breaks.
• The technology enhances the user experience by providing a convenient and efficient way to edit and modify transcriptions.

Benefits of this technology:

• Time-saving: The automatic arrangement operations eliminate the need for manual editing and formatting, saving time for users.
• Accuracy: The automated transcription and arrangement operations improve the accuracy of transcriptions compared to manual editing.
• User-friendly: The modification selectable element provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface for modifying transcriptions.
• Consistency: The automatic arrangement operations ensure consistent formatting and arrangement of transcriptions.

Original Abstract Submitted

implementations described herein generally relate to generating a modification selectable element that may be provided for presentation to a user in a smart dictation session with an automated assistant. the modification selectable element may, when selected, cause a transcription, that includes textual data generated based on processing audio data that captures a spoken utterance and that is automatically arranged, to be modified. the transcription may be automatically arranged to include spacing, punctuation, capitalization, indentations, paragraph breaks, and/or other arrangement operations that are not specified by the user in providing the spoken utterance. accordingly, a subsequent selection of the modification selectable element may cause these automatic arrangement operation(s), and/or the textual data locationally proximate to these automatic arrangement operation(s), to be modified. implementations described herein also relate to generating the transcription and/or the modification selectable element on behalf of a third-party software application.
