Publication number: 20180342248Abstract: An integrated system and method for text-input, combining and syncing speech input together with manual input, to improve speech-recognition-based text input both in speed and accuracy, when punctuation and other symbols are needed and when speech-recognition results are to be combined with previously-existing text. Facilitates the strong points of speech-recognition technology, which are speed and comfort when inputting common words, while at the same time facilitates the strong points of manual key-typing, which are speed, comfort and accuracy when inputting punctuation marks, symbols, or pre-defined text with a single click. Increases speed, accuracy and comfort of speech-recognition text input by solving the problems of current voice-typing methods, and by further using the data from the manual input for improving speech recognition results.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2017Publication date: November 29, 2018Inventor: Ronen Rabinovici

Publication number: 20180342249Abstract: An information processing system includes one or more acquiring devices and an image forming apparatus. The acquiring devices acquire proceedings information indicating meeting content from a plurality of participants participating in a meeting. The image forming apparatus deletes unnecessary information that is unnecessary as transcript content from the proceedings information and generates transcript information indicating the transcript content. According to the information processing system, work of deleting the unnecessary information from the transcript decreases, and an amount of work for a worker can be mitigated.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2018Publication date: November 29, 2018Applicant: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Akira OHASHI

Publication number: 20180342250Abstract: A speaker identification system (“system”) automatically assigns a speaker to voiced segments in a conversation, without requiring any previously recorded voice sample or any other action by the speaker. The system enables unsupervised learning of speakers' fingerprints and using such fingerprints for identifying a speaker in a recording of a conversation. The system identifies one or more speakers, e.g., representatives of an organization, who are in conversation with other speakers, e.g., customers of the organization. The system processes recordings of conversations between a representative and one or more customers to generate multiple voice segments having a human voice, identifies the voice segments that have the same or a similar feature, and determines the voice in the identified voice segments as the voice of the representative.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2017Publication date: November 29, 2018Inventors: Raphael Cohen, Erez Volk, Russell Levy, Micha Yochanan Breakstone

Publication number: 20180342251Abstract: A speaker identification system (“system”) automatically assigns a speaker to voiced segments in a call. The system identifies one or more speakers in a call using one or more speaker-identification parameters. The system processes the call to determine one or more speaker-identification parameters, such as a transcript of the call, a facial image of the speaker, a scene image, which is an image of a scene in which the speaker is located during the call, or textual data associated with the call such as names of the speaker or an organization that are retrieved from the scene images or video data of the call. The system analyzes one or more of the speaker-identification parameters and determines the identity of the speaker. The system then identifies the voice segments associated with the identified speaker and marks the voice segments with the identity of the speaker.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2018Publication date: November 29, 2018Inventors: Raphael Cohen, Erez Volk, Russell Levy, Micha Yochanan Breakstone, Orgad Keller, Ilana Tuil, Amit Ashkenazi

Publication number: 20180342254Abstract: A composite signal having frequencies within a sonic first frequency bandwidth may be received from a communication media on a receiver. The composite signal may include an audio base signal and at least one code signal. The code signal may be encoded with a code. The composite signal may be output on a speaker, the speaker converting the composite signal into sound. While outputting the composite signal, a signal processing device may detect the output sound corresponding to the code signal. The code may be determined from the detected output sound corresponding to the code signal. Data associated with the code may be retrieved from a data storage device that is internal to or remote from the signal processing device. The retrieved data, when displayed on a display device, may be selected by a user. The signal processing device may automatically send signal-processing-device-specific data to a remote server when the code is determined or when the user inputs an input using the displayed code-associated data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2018Publication date: November 29, 2018Inventor: Daniel SEEMILLER
