  • Patent number: 9407752
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for transmitting a message from a portable communication device to a separate terminal including a step of recording at the portable communication device a voice message, and a step of generating, at the portable communication device, a multimedia file including at least the voice message. According to the disclosure, the portable communication device transmits to the separate terminal a signal including the multimedia file and a specific flag for indicating that the voice message is to be displayed as a text message. Upon reception of the signal at the separate terminal, the voice message is extracted and specific flag is detected. Upon detection of the specific flag, speech-to-text conversion is performed at the separate terminal in order to transform the voice message into a text message to be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20080172231
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of processing voice signals (320, 322, 324) for a communication terminal (300) using voice recognition means comparing those voice signals to data stored in a database (304) in order to identify the data corresponding to those signals, that identified data being transmitted to management means (312) for triggering an action. According to the invention, such a method is characterized in that, the voice signals being liable to be supplied different sound acquisition systems (305, 307, 309), separate voice recognition means are used for each acquisition system.

  • Patent number: 6839557
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of transmitting data over a mobile telephone speech channel between a radio telephone terminal having a type of source encoding and a data transceiver unit via a mobile telephone network supporting at least one mode of communication without transcoding that can be set up between two mobile telephones having at least one type of source encoding in common. In the method, while negotiating the mode of communication between said radio telephone terminal and said data transmitter and/or receiver unit, the transmitter and/or receiver unit sends one of the types of source encoding available to said terminal to the terminal to engage said mode of communication without transcoding. Thereafter, data is transmitted over the mobile telephone network in frames reserved for speech signals encoded using the type of source encoding selected for the mode of communication.

  • Patent number: 5680393
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of suppressing a background noise signal in a sampled noisy voice signal. The method comprises the following steps: digital frequency-domain processing of the noisy voice signal to produce time-domain filtering coefficients, and digital time-domain processing of the noisy voice signal in accordance with the filter coefficients to produce a voice signal in which the background noise signal is substantially suppressed.
