AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSCRIPTION USING EAR-WEARABLE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240221757 titled 'AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSCRIPTION USING EAR-WEARABLE DEVICE
The patent application describes a system and method for automatic transcription using a visual display device and an ear-wearable device. The system processes an input audio signal to identify different voice signals, displays them on the visual display device, allows the user to select a voice signal, converts the selected voice signal to text data, and displays a transcript on the visual display device. Additionally, the system can generate an output signal sound at the ear-wearable device based on the input audio signal.
- The system processes input audio signals to identify and display voice signals.
- Users can select a voice signal for transcription.
- The selected voice signal is converted to text data and displayed as a transcript.
- Output signal sound is generated at the ear-wearable device based on the input audio signal.
Potential Applications: - Real-time transcription for meetings, lectures, and interviews. - Language translation services. - Accessibility features for individuals with hearing impairments.
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the transcription process. - Providing a convenient and efficient way to capture spoken information.
Benefits: - Improved accessibility and inclusivity. - Enhanced productivity in note-taking and information retention.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Automatic Transcription System for Enhanced Productivity" This technology can be utilized in industries such as: - Education - Business meetings - Legal proceedings - Healthcare documentation
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between multiple voice signals in the input audio? 2. What are the potential limitations of the transcription accuracy in noisy environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method of automatic transcription using a visual display device and an ear-wearable device. the system is configured to process an input audio signal at the display device to identify a first voice signal and a second voice signal from the input audio signal. a representation of the first voice signal and the second voice signal can be displayed on the display device and input can be received comprising the user selecting one of the first voice signal and the second voice signal as a selected voice signal. the system is configured to convert the selected voice signal to text data and display a transcript on the display device. the system can further generate an output signal sound at the first transducer of the ear-wearable device based on the input audio signal.
