First Claim
1. A method for providing real-time access to a transcript being developed from spoken words, said method comprising the steps of:
- recording said spoken words as units of transcribed text;
translating said units of transcribed text into a generally accurate transcript of said spoken words;
converting said transcript of said spoken words into a signal to be transmitted to an authorized receiving unit over a communication link;
transmitting a presentation object to said authorized receiving unit for presenting said transcript; and
transmitting said signal and;
identifying said authorized receiving unit as being authorized to receive said transcript, wherein said step of identifying said authorized receiving unit comprises the steps of;
suppressing transmission of an automatically assigned network identifier over said communication link;
manually assigning a network identifier that is to be used to identify a recipient as having authorization to receive said transcript; and
comparing an identifier entered by said recipient at a receiving unit with said manually assigned network identifier.
