Voice Recognition for Multifunction Internet Enabled Portable Electronic Device

Abstract

A Portable Electronic Device for telephony, electronic mail, audio, text, graphics, video, voice mail, text to voice and voice to text capability may be built into one multi-function, handheld, lightweight, transportable device. The Portable Electronic Device leverages the tremendous power of both the Intranet and the Internet. The Portable Electronic Device has a speaker and microphone to facilitate interaction between voice recognition software resident on the network server and the Portable Electronic Device. It is able to convert sound to data that can be transmitted to a network server. With the large computing/processing power of the local or network server the possibility to conduct live conversation in the same or two or more different languages is feasible. A text transcription of voice conversations and the reverse is possible.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for voice recognition on a portable electronic device comprising:
 a portable electronic device comprising a processor, a touch screen display, a microphone, a speaker, and a wireless cellular voice or data transmit and receive component;   a software application stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium; and   wherein the portable electronic device captures spoken audio using the microphone, wherein the audio is stored in a memory on the portable electronic device, wherein the audio is processed by audio to text voice recognition software, and wherein the converted audio is displayed as text on the screen of the device.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the portable electronic device sends the stored audio to a network accessible server, wherein the server processes the audio using voice recognition software resident on the network server, and wherein the server sends to the portable electronic device data comprising text as recognized from the spoken audio. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the server sends to the portable electronic device converted text as conversion by the server is completed. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the device sends a first data set to a server, wherein the first data set consists of spoken audio or voice data, wherein the device receives a second data set from a server, and wherein the second data set consists of text data. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the server consists of one or more servers. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the server performs voice to text recognition of the first data set and wherein the second data set consists of the text data converted from the voice data in the first data set. 
     
     
         7 . A voice recognition service for a portable electronic device comprising:
 a portable electronic device, comprising a processor, touch screen display, wireless transmit and receive component, keyboard, microphone, and speaker;   a non transitory computer readable medium software integrated into the operating system of the device or as a standalone software application; wherein the portable electronic device captures spoken audio, wherein the software performs voice recognition and generates text data comprising voice recognized output.   
     
     
         8 . The service of  claim 7 , wherein the voice recognized output is provides text for a composition of an email message. 
     
     
         9 . The service of  claim 7 , wherein the voice recognized output provides text for a composition of a document. 
     
     
         10 . The service of  claim 7 , wherein the voice recognized output enables a remote connection to a network or Internet resource. 
     
     
         11 . The service of  claim 7 , wherein the voice recognized output is a command to an application on the portable electronic device. 
     
     
         12 . The service of  claim 7 , wherein voice recognized output is customized to the unique voice pattern of a first individual and a second individual. 
     
     
         13 . The service of  claim 7 , wherein the voice recognized output, accepts as input music and performs voice recognition on said music. 
     
     
         14 . The service of  claim 7 , wherein the voice recognition output is customized to a plurality of languages. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the portable electronic device is further configured to send the audio to a server, wherein the server processor executes a voice recognition or voice to text software program to convert the audio into text, and wherein the portable electronic device receives the text as converted from the audio by the server from the server using a cellular wireless data connection. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the portable electronic device is configured to access an inside line path, and wherein the inside line path is a wireless local area network (WLAN) and access an outside line path, wherein the outside line path is a wireless public network simultaneously.
