Abstract

The technology relates to systems and methods for transcribing audio of a meeting. Upon transcribing the audio, the systems and methods can parse different portions of the prescribed audio so that they may attribute the different portions to a particular speaker. These transcribed portions that are attributed to a particular speaker are made available for viewing and interacting using a graphical user interface.

Claims

1. A system configured to associate an analyzed transcript to a speaker, comprising:

at least one memory storing computer readable instructions for execution;

at least one network interface device; and

at least one processor operatively coupled to the memory and the network interface device, the at least one processor controlling the system to;

obtain transcript data of a dialogue between two or more people,

parse the obtained transcript data based on one or more delimiters contained within the transcript data,

determine at least one speaker from the parsed transcript data,

associate at least a portion of the parsed transcript data to the determined speaker by linking the portion of the parsed transcript data to the determined speaker,

store the portion of the parsed transcript data, and the linked speaker in association with each other, in a database of the system, and

generate data for displaying a user interface that displays the portion of the parsed transcript data and the speaker associated with the parsed transcript data.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the transcript data contains first text data corresponding to a dialogue of a first speaker and an identification of the first speaker sequentially following the first text data, the first text data and the identification of the first speaker separated by at least one delimiter.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the identification of the first speaker includes at least a name of the first speaker, an entity in which the first speaker is associated, and a title held by the first speaker.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the transcript data is incorporated into a structured document.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the structured document is an XML file.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the structured document comprises at least metadata, a body of the structured document, and one or more additional identifiers.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the metadata includes at least an event identifier, an event type name, an event story identifier, and/or an expiration data.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the body of the structured document includes at least text of an event, one or more questions raised during the event, and one or more answers provided to the questions raised during the event.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein the one or more additional identifiers include at least a city, a company name, and/or a company identifier.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer readable code for associating an analyzed transcript to a speaker which, when executed by a computer having one or more processors, causes the computer to:

obtain transcript data of a dialogue between two or more people;

parse the obtained transcript data based on one or more delimiters contained within the transcript data;

determine at least one speaker from the parsed transcript data;

associate at least a portion of the parsed transcript data to the determined speaker; and

store the portion of the parsed transcript data in association with the determined speaker in a database of the system and generate a display showing at least the portion of the parsed transcript data and the associated speaker.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein data is generated for displaying a user interface that displays the portion of the parsed transcript data and the speaker associated with the parsed transcript data.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the transcript data contains first text data corresponding to a dialogue of a first speaker and an identification of the first speaker sequentially following the first text data, the first text data and the identification of the first speaker separated by at least one delimiter.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the identification of the first speaker includes at least a name of the first speaker, an entity in which the first speaker is associated, and a title held by the first speaker.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the transcript data is incorporated in an XML file and the XML file comprises at least metadata, a body of the XML file, and one or more additional identifiers.

15. A method for associating an analyzed transcript to a speaker, comprising:

at an information processing apparatus having at least a memory, a transceiver, and a processor;

obtaining transcript data of a dialogue between two or more people;

determining at least one speaker from the transcript data;

associating at least a portion of the transcript data to the determined speaker; and

storing the portion of the parsed transcript data in association with the determined speaker in a database of the system and generating a display showing at least the portion of the parsed transcript data and the associated speaker.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising parsing the obtained transcript data based on one or more delimiters contained within the transcript data.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein data is generated for displaying a user interface that displays the portion of the parsed transcript data and the speaker associated with the parsed transcript data.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the transcript data contains first text data corresponding to a dialogue of a first speaker and an identification of the first speaker sequentially following the first text data, the first text data and the identification of the first speaker separated by at least one delimiter.

19. A client device configured to generate a user interface containing information related to an analyzed transcript, comprising:

at least one memory storing computer readable instructions for execution;

at least one display;

at least one network interface device; and

at least one processor operatively coupled to the memory, the network interface device, and the display, the processor controlling the device to;

request first data, stored in a database of a server, for generating a user interface providing information related to a spoken dialogue,

receive the first data from the server,

construct portions of the user interface that include at least a portion of the spoken dialogue and an identification of at least one speaker from the spoken dialogue, and

generate the user interface for display using the at least one display.

20. The client device of claim 19, wherein constructing portions of the user interface includes generating a page having at least one component containing identification of at least one event and at least a portion of spoken dialogue at the event.

21. The client device of claim 19, wherein constructing portions of the user interface includes generating a page having at least one component containing identification of one or more events, each event containing one or more comments that include dialogue spoken at the event.

22. The client device of claim 19, wherein constructing portions of the user interface includes generating a page having at least one component containing identification of a contact, each contact associated with one or more events, and each event containing one or more comments that include dialogue spoken at the event.

23. The client device of claim 19, wherein the processing system is configured to generate a display showing transcript data including a full transcript of spoken dialogue at an event, the transcript containing identification of one or more speakers and their associated contribution of spoken dialogue at the event.
