Abstract: A method of transcription communication may include obtaining, at a first device, audio data during a communication session between the first device and a remote device. The audio data may be obtained from a public switched telephone network. The method may also include directing the audio data from the first device to a second device over a short-range wireless network. The second device may host the short-range wireless network. The method may further include directing the audio data from the second device to a remote transcription system over a wireless cellular network and obtaining, at the second device, transcript data from the remote transcription system over the wireless cellular network. The method may also include limiting data transmitted and received over the wireless cellular network as authorized by the second device to data associated with transcription of audio obtained by the first device over the public switched telephone network.
