Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A method, comprising the steps of: dictating a text in the form of speech via a telephone apparatus; transmitting said speech via a first telecommunication network to said data transmitting device; converting said speech into said text data via a speech recognizer at said data transmitting device; dictating said text data in the form of further speech at said data transmitting device; transmitting said further speech via the first telecommunication network to said telephone apparatus; expressing verbally via said telephone apparatus that an interruption of the step of dictating said text data at said data transmitting device is wanted for editing or for repeating already dictated text; establishing verbally via said telephone apparatus an editing position where a text edit is desired; dictating the text edit in the form of yet further speech via said telephone apparatus; transmitting said yet further speech via a first telecommunication network to said data transmitting device; editing the text data at the editing position in response to the yet further speech, for providing edited text data; and transmitting said edited text data via a second telecommunication network to said data receiving apparatus.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
188 words
A method, comprising the steps of: dictating a text in the form of speech via a telephone apparatus; transmitting said speech via a first telecommunication network to said data transmitting device; converting said speech into said text data via a speech recognizer at said data transmitting device; dictating said text data in the form of further speech at said data transmitting device; transmitting said further speech via the first telecommunication network to said telephone apparatus; expressing verbally via said telephone apparatus that an interruption of the step of dictating said text data at said data transmitting device is wanted for editing or for repeating already dictated text; establishing verbally via said telephone apparatus an editing position where a text edit is desired; dictating the text edit in the form of yet further speech via said telephone apparatus; transmitting said yet further speech via a first telecommunication network to said data transmitting device; editing the text data at the editing position in response to the yet further speech, for providing edited text data; and transmitting said edited text data via a second telecommunication network to said data receiving apparatus.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said telephone apparatus is a mobile telephone apparatus, and wherein said first telecommunication network is a mobile telecommunication network.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
127 words
An apparatus, comprising: means for receiving a text in the form of speech via a first telecommunication network, said speech issuing from a telephone apparatus; a speech recognizer for converting said speech into text data; a speech generator for dictating said text data in the form of further speech; means for transmitting said further speech via the first telecommunication network to said telephone apparatus; means for establishing an editing position in said text data and for editing said text data both in response to yet further speech received via the first telecommunication network and issuing from said telephone apparatus, so as to provide edited text data; and a data transmitting device for transmitting said edited text data via a second telecommunication network to a data receiving device.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
127 words
An apparatus, comprising: means for receiving a text in the form of speech via a first telecommunication network, said speech issuing from a telephone apparatus; a speech recognizer for converting said speech into text data; a speech generator for dictating said text data in the form of further speech; means for transmitting said further speech via the first telecommunication network to said telephone apparatus; means for establishing an editing position in said text data and for editing said text data both in response to yet further speech received via the first telecommunication network and issuing from said telephone apparatus, so as to provide edited text data; and a data transmitting device for transmitting said edited text data via a second telecommunication network to a data receiving device.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said telephone apparatus is a mobile telephone apparatus, and wherein said first telecommunication network is a mobile telecommunication network.
