Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for audio processing. For example, the present invention provides systems and methods for creating standardized text for streaming text application from a variety of different speech-to-text software formats and systems and methods for interfacing a stenographic computer with an electronic communications network.

Claims

1. A system for providing streaming text information over an Internet, comprising software configured to:

i) permit transfer of text information from a computer to an Internet without the use of a serial IP device attached to a serial port of said computer; and

ii) associate with an operating system of said computer to permit conversion of text information generated from a plurality of different speech-to-text captioning software protocols into ASCII format for transmission over said Internet.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said software comprises a parsing routine configured to automatically identify said speech-to-text captioning software protocols and to convert said speech-to-text captioning software protocols to ASCII text information.
