1. A communication system including:
- a first communication device specifically configured for use by a call assistant of a remote captioning service providing captioning assistance for a hearing-impaired user during a real-time communication session; and
a second communication device specifically configured for use by the hearing-impaired user to provide captions displayed to the hearing-impaired user during the real-time communication session;
wherein the first communication device comprises;
a first memory device having a speech recognition program stored therein;
a first input device configured to receive inputs from the captioning assistant;
a first processor operably coupled with the first memory device and the first input device, the first processor configured to;
receive a voice signal during a real-time communication session between at least two parties, the voice signal including at least audio from a far end user for the real-time communication session;
generate a text transcription for the audio for the far-end user from the voice signal during the real-time communication session using the speech recognition program;
transmit a first block of text of the text transcription to the second communication device for display by the second communication device during the real-time communication session;
receive the inputs from the call assistant as edits to the text transcription; and
transmit a replacement block of text with the edits to the second communication device after transmission of the first block to the second communication device has already occurred, the replacement block of text being an inline correction for the first block of text that was already received and displayed by the second communication device; and
wherein the second communication device comprises;
second electronic display; and
second processor operably coupled with the second electronic display, the second processor configured to;
receive the voice signal and during the real-time communication session;
receive the first block of text of the text transcription from the remote captioning service;
cause the first block of text of the text transcription to be displayed by the second electronic display as captions for the hearing-impaired user during the real-time communication session;
receive the replacement block of text from the remote captioning service after the first block of text has been received and displayed by the second electronic display; and
cause the replacement block of text to be displayed by the second electronic as an inline correction for the first block of text previously displayed by the second communication device.

Abstract
Systems and methods related to providing error correction in a text caption are disclosed. A method may comprise displaying a text caption including one or more blocks of text on each of a first device and a second device remote from the first device. The method may also include generating another block of text and replacing a block of text of the text caption with the another block of text. Furthermore, the method may include displaying the text caption on the second device having the block of text of the first text caption replaced by the another block of text.

13. A method of providing error correction in a caption-based communication system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a first communication device associated with a call assistant within a captioning service, a voice signal during a real-time communication session between a second communication device associated with a hearing-impaired user and a third communication device; receiving, at a second communication device, the voice signal from the first communication device within the remote communication device during the real-time communication session; generating, at the first communication device, a text transcription for the voice signal during the real-time communication session using a speech recognition program; transmitting, from the first communication device to the second communication device, a first block of text of the text transcription; receiving, at the second communication device, the first block of text of the text transcription of the voice signal from the remote captioning service; displaying the first block of text on a second electronic display of the second communication device during the real-time communication session; receiving, through a first input device of the first communication device, corrections corresponding to an error within at least a portion of a text transcription after of the text transcription to the second communication device has already occurred; generating, at the first communication device, a replacement block of text responsive to the corrections; transmitting the replacement block of text from the first communication device to the second communication device as an inline correction for the error with instructions for the second communication device to indicate that the block of text is a correction for the portion of the text transcription to be replaced; receiving, at the second communication device, the replacement block of text from the remote captioning service after the first block of text has been received and displayed by the second electronic display; and displaying the replacement block of text on the second electronic display as an inline correction for the first block of text previously displayed by the second communication device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
