Abstract

In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for sending a communications header with voice recording to send metadata for use in speech recognition and formatting when converting voice to text on a mobile communication facility comprising capturing speech presented by a user using a resident capture facility on the mobile communication facility; transmitting a communications header to a speech recognition facility from the mobile communication facility via a wireless communications facility, wherein the communications header includes at least one of device name, network provider, network type, audio source, a display parameter for the wireless communications facility, geographic location, and phone number information; transmitting at least a portion of the captured speech as data through a wireless communication facility to a speech recognition facility; generating speech-to-text results for the captured speech utilizing the speech recognition facility based at least in part on the communications header; transmitting the text results from the speech recognition facility to the mobile communications facility; and entering the text results into a text field on the mobile communication facility.

Claims

1. A method of converting voice to text on a mobile communication facility comprising:

capturing speech presented by a user using a resident capture facility on the mobile communication facility;

transmitting a communications header to a speech recognition facility from the mobile communication facility via a wireless communications facility, wherein the communications header includes at least one of device name, network provider, network type, audio source, a display parameter for the wireless communications facility, geographic location, and phone number information;

transmitting at least a portion of the captured speech as data through a wireless communication facility to a speech recognition facility;

generating speech-to-text results for the captured speech utilizing the speech recognition facility based at least in part on the communications header;

transmitting the text results from the speech recognition facility to the mobile communications facility; and

entering the text results into a text field on the mobile communications facility.
