Abstract

Methods, systems, computer readable media, and apparatuses for voice data transcription are provided. Packets that include voice data may be received and for each time that a threshold amount of voice data is received, a segment of voice data may be created and transcribed to text. A message that includes the transcribed text may then be transmitted to an intended recipient of the voice data, to allow the intended recipient to view the message prior to transcription of the remaining segments of the voice data. Additionally, subsequent to transmission of the message, another message may be transmitted that includes text transcribed from a different segment of the voice data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
after receiving a first amount of data for a voicemail message that is above a first threshold amount, transcribing, by a computing device, a first segment of the voicemail message to first text and transmitting an e-mail that comprises the first text to an intended recipient of the voicemail message; and
after receiving a second amount of data for the voicemail message that is above a second threshold amount, transcribing a second segment of the voicemail message to second text and transmitting a message that comprises the second text to the intended recipient of the voicemail message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is an e-mail message, a Short Message Service (SMS) message or an instant message.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of the second amount of data is received while the first segment is being transcribed to the first text.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein transcribing the second segment comprises transcribing the second segment in its own thread.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first amount of data for the voicemail message comprises a first amount of uncompressed voice data that is received from a voice data server, and wherein the second amount of data for the voicemail message comprises a second amount of uncompressed voice data that is received from the voice data server.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the voicemail message conforms to G.711 or G.722.

7. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
creating, by the computing device, the first segment; and
creating, by the computing device, the second segment.

8. A method, comprising:
after receiving a first amount of data for a voicemail message that is above a first threshold amount, transcribing, by a computing device, a first segment of the voicemail message to first text and transmitting a short messaging service (SMS) message that comprises the first text to an intended recipient of the voicemail message; and
after receiving a second amount of data for the voicemail message that is above a second threshold amount, transcribing a second segment of the voicemail message to second text and transmitting a message that comprises the second text to the intended recipient of the voicemail message.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the message is an e-mail message, another Short Message Service (SMS) message or an instant message.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of the second amount of data is received while the first segment is being transcribed to the first text.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein transcribing the second segment comprises transcribing the second segment in its own thread.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first amount of data for the voicemail message comprises a first amount of uncompressed voice data that is received from a voice data server, and wherein the second amount of data for the voicemail message comprises a second amount of uncompressed voice data that is received from the voice data server.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the voicemail message conforms to G.711 or G.722.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
creating, by the computing device, the first segment; and
creating, by the computing device, the second segment.

15. A method, comprising:
after receiving a first amount of data for a voicemail message that is above a first threshold amount, transcribing, by a computing device, a first segment of the voicemail message to first text and transmitting an instant message that comprises the first text to an intended recipient of the voicemail message; and
after receiving a second amount of data for the voicemail message that is above a second threshold amount, transcribing a second segment of the voicemail message to second text and transmitting a message that comprises the second text to the intended recipient of the voicemail message.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the message is an e-mail message, a Short Message Service (SMS) message or another instant message.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein at least a portion of the second amount of data is received while the first segment is being transcribed to the first text.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein transcribing the second segment comprises transcribing the second segment in its own thread.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the voicemail message conforms to G.711 or G.722.

20. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:
creating, by the computing device, the first segment; and
creating, by the computing device, the second segment.
