  • Publication number: 20240137614
    Abstract: A system for to monitor image input of a computing device having a control circuit with a programmable processor, and configured to receive images and to output the images to an image output device coupled to the computing device. The computing device can be configured to monitor the received images via the processor of the computing device being programmed using a Machine Learning Image Classification (MLIC) algorithm configured to determine a score of at least one received image within a predetermined criteria for classifying said at least one received image as a restricted subject image. Based on determination of the score, a modify or non-modify command is generated; and wherein in response to said at least one received image being scored by said processor within the modify criteria, the processor is programmed to generate a command to output the modified image.

  • Patent number: 11783837
    Abstract: According to one or more aspects of the present disclosure, operations related to selecting a transcription generation technique may be disclosed. In some embodiments, the operations may include obtaining multiple user ratings that each correspond to a different one of multiple transcriptions. Each transcription may be obtained using a first transcription generation technique and may correspond to a different one of multiple communication sessions. The operations may further include selecting, for a subsequent communication session that occurs after the multiple communication sessions, a second transcription generation technique based on the user ratings. In addition, the operations may include providing the subsequent transcription to a device during the subsequent communication session.

  • Patent number: 11710488
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining audio data originating at a first device during a communication session between the first device and a second device and providing the audio data to a first speech recognition system to generate a first transcript based on the audio data and directing the first transcript to the second device. The method may also include in response to obtaining a quality indication regarding a quality of the first transcript, multiplexing the audio data to provide the audio data to a second speech recognition system to generate a second transcript based on the audio data while continuing to provide the audio data to the first speech recognition system and direct the first transcript to the second device, and in response to obtaining a transfer indication that occurs after multiplexing of the audio data, directing the second transcript to the second device instead of the first transcript.
