Virtualized Speech in a Distributed Network Environment

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to various systems and techniques that provide for a method and apparatus for transmitting speech as text to a remote server and converting the text stream back to speech for delivery to a remote application. For example, a person, through workspace virtualization, is accessing a remote application that accepts speech as its input. The user, using a microphone, would speak into the microphone where the speech would be converted into text with a local speech-to-text converter. The text version of speech is sent to a remote server, which converts the text back to speech using a remote server based text-to-speech converter where the reconstructed speech is usable as input to a remote application or device.
