Publication number: 20160125881Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide systems and methods for facilitating dictation. Speech input may be provided to an audio input device of a computing device. A speech recognition engine at the computing device may obtain text corresponding to the speech input. The computing device may transmit the text to a remotely-located storage device. A login webpage that includes a session identifier may be accessed from a target computing device also located remotely relative to the storage device. The session identifier may be transmitted to the storage device and, in response, a text display webpage may be received at the target computing device. The text display webpage may include the speech-derived text and may be configured to automatically copy the text to a copy buffer of the target computing device. The speech-derived text may also be provided to native applications at target computing devices or NLU engines for natural language processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2014Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: Markus VOGEL, Andreas NEUBACHER

Patent number: 9274746Abstract: A multi-modal user interface is described that hides response latency delays. A graphical user interface (GUI) supports different user input modalities including low delay inputs which respond to user inputs without significant delay, and high latency inputs which have a significant response latency after receiving a user input before providing a corresponding completed response. The GUI accepts user inputs in a sequence of mixed input modalities independently of response latencies without waiting for responses to high latency inputs, and responds to each user input in the sequence as if each preceding user input in the sequence had been performed without response latencies.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2011Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Andreas Neubacher, Miklós Pápai, Attila Muszta, Herwig Häle, Christina Drexel

Publication number: 20150379653Abstract: A system and method for license detection is provided. Embodiments may include receiving, at a device, a recording of a speech signal associated with an audio recording application and determining if the audio recording application has an active license. Embodiments may also include inserting license reminder language to the speech signal if it is determined that the audio recording application does not have an active license and ignoring the license reminder language if it is determined that the audio recording application does have an active license. Embodiments may further include producing an output signal wherein the output signal includes the license reminder language if it is determined that the audio recording application does not have an active license and producing an output signal without the license reminder language if it is determined that the audio recording application does have an active license.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2014Publication date: December 31, 2015Inventors: Andreas Neubacher, Siegmar Marseiler, Georg Kabesch

Patent number: 9081550Abstract: At design time of a graphical user interface (GUI), a software component (VUIcontroller) is added to the GUI. At run time of the GUI, the VUIcontroller analyzes the GUI from within a process that executes the GUI. From this analysis, the VUIcontroller automatically generates a voice command set, such as a speech-recognition grammar, that corresponds to controls of the GUI. The generated voice command set is made available to a speech recognition engine, thereby speech-enabling the GUI. Optionally, a GUI designer may add properties to ones of the GUI controls at GUI design time, without necessarily writing a voice command set. These properties, if specified, are then used at GUI run time to control or influence the analysis of the GUI and the automatic generation of the voice command set.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2011Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Mert Öz, Herwig Häle, Attila Muszta, Andreas Neubacher, Peter Kozma

Patent number: 8924216Abstract: A method for synchronizing sound data and text data, said text data being obtained by manual transcription of said sound data during playback of the latter. The proposed method comprises the steps of repeatedly querying said sound data and said text data to obtain a current time position corresponding to a currently played sound datum and a currently transcribed text datum, respectively, correcting said current time position by applying a time correction value in accordance with a transcription delay, and generating at least one association datum indicative of a synchronization association between said corrected time position and said currently transcribed text datum. Thus, the proposed method achieves cost-effective synchronization of sound and text in connection with the manual transcription of sound data.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Andreas Neubacher, Miklos Papai

Patent number: 8442533Abstract: A method for preventing ping-pong handover in mobile radio networks having a multiplicity of stationary base stations at a distance from one another, and also stationary and/or moveable mobile radio stations, such as mobile radio telephones, which are in the transmission and reception range of the base stations. Repeated unwanted handover of a mobile radio station in the connected/active mode from a source base station to a destination base station is reduced or prevented. System messages are transmitted between the mobile radio stations and the base station, wherein the system messages for initiating the handover are used to transmit historical information relating to handovers which have already been performed, that information being used to automatically ascertain and set optimum operating parameters for the mobile radio stations and/or at least one of the base stations which are involved.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2010Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: T-Mobile International AGInventor: Andreas Neubacher
