Abstract: A method of generating a transcript file in a selected presentation format from input audio data with a transcription component. The transcription component divides the input audio data into individual sound tokens. The transcription component then identifies transcription text for subsets of the sound tokens by finding a best match for the subset in sound samples in a sound database. The transcription component then creates a transcript file and formats the transcription text in the transcript file according to a presentation format that corresponds to a sound type of the transcription text.

Abstract: An LED controller for a multiple LED channel system using PWM method for LED dimming function incorporates a digital dimming control circuit to generate the PWM signals for driving the LED channels to spread out or cancel out the power supply transients generated by the LED transient current during PWM modulation for dimming operation. The digital dimming control circuit implements a power supply transient reduction method whereby the active period of the PWM signals for some of the LED channels are shifted within the switching cycle to align at least some of the rising signal edges with some of the falling signal edges so as to cancel out the voltage transients on the LED power rails generated at the signal transitions. Furthermore, the rising and falling signal edges that are not lined up are spread out through the PWM switching cycle so that the power supply transients are spread out.
