Abstract: A portable speech transcription and calculation device generates text and algorithmic solutions in response to speech commands. The device includes a speaker for recording speeches, an automatic speech recognition processor to generate text from recorded speeches, a formatting processor to format the text into a desired style, an algorithmic processor for calculating algorithms, and a display device to return the corresponding texts to the respective users. The device is efficacious in transcribing a speech command into text. The text may then display onto a display screen, print from an attached printer, transmit to a portable storage device, or transfer to a remote processor through email or facsimile. Complex algorithmic and accounting calculations may also be performed in response to the speech command. Eliminating the need for input devices such as keyboards reduces stress on the hand and wrist. Handicapped and blind users may also benefit from the device.
