Abstract

One or more computing devices may receive audio data from a first client device. The one or more computing devices may also receive a designation of a second client device from the first client device. The one or more computing devices may transcribe the audio data to text, and may further identify profile information associated with a user of the first client device in the transcribed text. The profile information may be stored to a profile associated with the user of the first client device. The one or more computing devices may also transmit at least one of the audio data or the transcribed text to the second client device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method of operating one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
receiving a message type indicator identifying a message type from a first client device;
setting a message preference of a user of the first client device based at least in part on the message type indicator received from the first client device;
receiving audio data from the first client device;
receiving a designation of a second client device from the first client device;
transcribing the audio data to transcribed text;
generating a message of the message type based at least in part on the message preference of the user of the first client device, the message comprising the transcribed text;
identifying profile information in the transcribed text, wherein the profile information comprises at least one of an interest or a preference of the user of the first client device, and wherein the profile information is identified without input from the first client device;
causing the profile information that is identified without input from the first client device to be stored to a profile account associated with the user of the first client device and associated with the message type indicator;
causing the profile information, including the profile information that is identified without input from the first client device and that is stored in the profile account, to be made available for dissemination to a computing device of a contact authorized by the user; and
transmitting the message to the second client device.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein identifying profile information in the transcribed text comprises applying a profile filter to the transcribed text.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the profile information is caused to be stored to the profile associated with the user of the first client device without requiring the user of the first client device to log into the profile account.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the audio data is transcribed to text using a grammar.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the audio data comprises at least one of a voicemail or a dictated text message.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising delivering an ad impression to the second client device, and wherein the ad impression is based at least in part on the transcribed text.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first client device comprises at least one of a personal digital assistant, a tablet computer, a personal computer, a laptop computer, or a mobile phone.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the profile is further associated with at least one of a social networking site or a recommendation engine.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the profile information associated with the user of the first client device comprises at least one of an indication of the user's interest in a band, an indication of the user's interest in a movie, or personal data of the user.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the profile account is one of a text message account or an instant message account.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein causing the profile information stored in the profile account to be made available for dissemination comprises receiving a request for the profile information from the computing device of the contact authorized by the user and transmitting the profile information to the computing device of the contact authorized by the user.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein causing the profile information stored in the profile account to be made available for dissemination comprises posting the profile information to network page associated with the user and accessible to the computing device of the contact authorized by the user.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-executable module configured to execute in one or more processors, the computer-executable module being further configured to:
receive a message type indicator identifying a message type from a first client device;
set a message preference based at least in part on the message type indicator received from the first client device;
receive audio data from the first client device;
receive a designation of a second client device from the first client device;
transcribe the audio data to transcribed text;
generate a message of the message type based at least in part on the message preference received from the first client device, the message comprising the transcribed text;
obtain profile information from the transcribed text using the message type indicator, wherein the profile information comprises at least one of an interest or a preference of a user of the first client device, and wherein the profile information is obtained without input from the first client device;
cause the profile information that is obtained without input from the first client device to be stored to a profile account associated with the user of the first client device and associated with the message type indicator;
cause the profile information, including the profile information that is obtained without input from the first client device and that is stored in the profile account, to be made available for dissemination to a computing device of a contact authorized by of the user; and
transmit the message to the second client device.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable module is configured to obtain the profile information from the transcribed text by applying a profile filter to the transcribed text.

15. The non-transitory computer storage of claim 13 , wherein the profile information is caused to be stored to the profile account associated with the user of the first client device without requiring the user of the first client device to log into the profile account.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable module is configured to transcribe the audio data to text using a grammar.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the audio data comprises at least one of a voicemail or a dictated text message.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable module is further configured to deliver an ad impression based at least in part on the transcribed text to the second client device.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable module is further configured to transmit the transcribed text to the first client device.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the first client device comprises at least one of a personal digital assistant, a tablet computer, a personal computer, a laptop, or a mobile phone.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the profile is further associated with at least one of a social networking site or a recommendation engine.

22. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the profile information associated with the user of the first client device comprises at least one of an indication of the user's interest in a band, an indication of the user's interest in a movie, or personal data of the user.
