Methods and systems for correcting transcribed audio files

Abstract

Methods and systems for correcting transcribed text. One method includes receiving audio data from one or more audio data sources and transcribing the audio data based on a voice model to generate text data. The method also includes making the text data available to a plurality of users over at least one computer network and receiving corrected text data over the at least one computer network from the plurality of users. In addition, the method can include modifying the voice model based on the corrected text data.

1 . A method of correcting transcribed text, the method comprising:
 receiving audio data from one or more audio data sources;   transcribing the audio data based on a voice model to generate text data;   making the text data available to a plurality of user over at least one computer network;   receiving corrected text data over the at least one computer network from the plurality of users; and   modifying the voice model based on the corrected text data.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving audio data from one or more audio data sources includes receiving audio data from a VoIP voicemail server. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving audio data from one or more audio data sources includes receiving audio data from a client computer over at least one computer network. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving audio data from one or more audio data sources includes receiving audio data in an e-mail message. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein receiving audio data from one or more audio data sources includes requesting the audio data from the one or more audio data sources. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising prioritizing the audio data. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein transcribing the audio data based on a voice model to generate text data includes transcribing the audio data based on a voice independent model to generate text data. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising sending a correction notification to at least one of the plurality of users. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein sending a correction notification to at least one of the plurality of users includes sending an e-mail correction notification to at least one of the plurality of users. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising indexing the text data. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising sending a message notification to a user; 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein sending a message notification to a user includes sending an e-mail message notification to the user. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising delivering the corrected text data to at least one destination. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising receiving the at least one destination from a user. 
     
     
         15 . A system for correcting transcribed text, the system comprising:
 a transcription server receiving audio data from one or more audio data sources;   at least one translation server to transcribe the audio data based on a voice model to generate text data,   a correction interface accessible by a plurality of users over at least one computer network and providing access to the text data and receiving corrected text data from the plurality of users; and   at least one training server receiving the corrected text data and modifying the voice model based on the corrected text data.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more audio data sources includes a VoIP voicemail server. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the voice model includes a voice independent model. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the transcription server sends a correction notification to at least one of the plurality of users. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the correction notification includes an e-mail correction notification. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the correction interface provides access to the audio data.
