Method and devices for language determination for voice to text transcription of phone calls
First Claim
1. A method for determining a language among a plurality of languages available for a voice to text transcription of phone calls between a caller and a recipient provided by an answering machine system, comprising:
- deriving a country code of said caller or said recipient;
selecting three or more languages to be included in a list of languages, wherein each selected language is determined to be a preferred language in that each language is identified as satisfying an initial acceptable probability of being selected later for use;
after the list of languages is generated, determining, for each language in the list, a subsequent probability of being selected for use, the subsequent probability being based at least partially on said derived country code and at least another technical option;
organize the list of languages based on each language'"'"'s determined subsequent probability so as to generate a prioritized list of languages, whereby a first language with a highest subsequent probability is placed at a top of the prioritized list of languages followed by a second language with a second highest subsequent probability followed by a third language with a third highest subsequent probability;
presenting the prioritized list of languages to said caller;
selecting, by said caller, said language from among the prioritized list of languages by interacting with said answering machine system; and
transcribing a corresponding voice message into text of the selected language for forwarding to said recipient.

Abstract
Methods, and devices and systems, for example an answering machine system, are provided for determining a language among a plurality of languages available for a voice to text transcription of phone calls between a caller and a recipient. In the method, at least two of said available languages are proposed to the caller. The proposed languages are based on a phone country code corresponding to said caller, a phone country code corresponding to said recipient, a language from a set of languages available for the transcription by said answering machine system, or a language selected automatically on the basis of parameters set by the caller or the recipient. The caller selects said language by interacting with said answering machine system, and a corresponding voice message is transcribed into text of the selected language for forwarding to said recipient.
