Abstract: A method to transcribe communications includes the steps of obtaining a voice signal originating at a first device configured for verbal communication with a second device and providing the voice signal to an automated speech recognition system configured to transcribe the signal. Before determining a final transcription, the method obtains a first hypothesis transcription including one or more first words determined to be a transcription of at least a first portion of the voice signal and a second hypothesis transcription including a plurality of second words determined to be a transcription of at least a second portion of the voice signal that includes the first portion of the voice signal, determines one or more consistent words included in both hypothesis transcriptions, and in response, transmits the consistent words to the second device for presentation before the final transcription of the voice signal is provided to the second device.

Abstract: A captioning method for presenting captions to an assisted user (AU) during communication with a hearing user (HU) where the assisted user uses a captioned device and the hearing user uses a hearing user's device to facilitate the communication, the captioned device including a display screen and a speaker for presenting captions and broadcasting the hearing user's voice signals, respectively, the method comprising the steps of during an ongoing call between the AU and the HU, using an automated speech recognition (ASR) engine to generate initial ASR captions associated with the HU's voice signal, assessing at least one caption quality factor associated with prior initial ASR captions generated during the ongoing call, delaying broadcast of HU voice signal to the AU and based on the at least one caption quality factor, adjusting a duration of the HU voice signal broadcast delay.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating communication between an assisted user (AU) and a hearing user (HU) includes receiving an HU voice signal as the AU and HU participate in a call using AU and HU communication devices, transcribing HU voice signal segments into verbatim caption segments, processing each verbatim caption segment to identify an intended communication (IC) intended by the HU upon uttering an associated one of the HU voice signal segments, for at least a portion of the HU voice signal segments (i) using an associated IC to generate an enhanced caption different than the associated verbatim caption, (ii) for each of a first subset of the HU voice signal segments, presenting the verbatim captions via the AU communication device display for consumption, and (iii) for each of a second subset of the HU voice signal segments, presenting enhanced captions via the AU communication device display for consumption.

Abstract: A relay for captioning a hearing user's (HU's) voice signal during a phone call between an HU and a hearing assisted user (AU), the HU using an HU device and the AU using an AU device where the HU voice signal is transmitted from the HU device to the AU device, the relay comprising a display screen, a processor linked to the display and programmed to perform the steps of receiving the HU voice signal from the AU device, transmitting the HU voice signal to a remote automatic speech recognition (ASR) server running ASR software that converts the HU voice signal to ASR generated text, the remote ASR server located at a remote location from the relay, receiving the ASR generated text from the ASR server, present the ASR generated text for viewing by a call assistant (CA) via the display and transmitting the ASR generated text to the AU device.

Abstract: A method to transcribe communications during a voice communication session between first and second devices includes obtaining an audio message originating at the first device. Upon initiating a captioning session, the message is provided to an automated speech recognition system to generate a first caption set for at least some of the message without any captioning assistance from a call assistant. The first caption set is made available to the second device for presentation on a display screen. In response to obtaining a first indication via the second device to change the captioning process, the audio message is provided to a second speech recognition system to generate a second caption set based on at least some of the message, where a call assistant performs error corrections to generate the second caption set. The second caption set then is made available to the second device for presentation on the display screen.
