VOICE RECORDING & LABEL MAKING SYSTEM

A voice recording and label making apparatus for converting users voice into text format, designed to be placed on documents comprising; medical documents, devices, X-rays, medical files, MRI etc. The first part of the apparatus comprise of a computing device that may receive input, the second part comprise of a device that may convert audio to formatted text and the third part comprise an apparatus that places the text format on a medical document or other documents of interest.

BACKGROUND

The present general inventive concept relates generally to a voice recording and label making system.

2. Description of the Related Art

During appointments, dentist usually require another individual to be present during examinations to record measurements and later translate them into labels that may be applied to medical documents. Currently, on the market, there are dictation devices that record audio; however, they lack the ability to translate the audio into labels.

Therefore, there is a need for a system that allows a user's voice to be recorded and then converted into a label.

SUMMARY

The present general inventive concept provides a voice recording and label making system.

The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept may be achieved by providing a . . .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1illustrates a system100to provide record a voice of a medical professional and to convert the recording into a label to be applied to at least one medical document, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept.

The system100may include a first apparatus110, a second apparatus120, an image forming apparatus130, and a network140, but is not limited thereto, nor are all the components thereof described herein.

The first apparatus110may include a computing device that may receive input, transmit data, receive data, access the Internet, provide global positioning services (GPS), and communicate with other devices or systems via a network, and may include a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, and/or a mobile device, such as a cellular phone or a smart phone, but is not limited thereto.

The second apparatus120may include a computing device that may receive input, transmit data, receive data, access the Internet, provide global positioning services (GPS), and communicate with other devices or systems via a network, and may include a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, and/or a mobile device, such as a cellular phone or a smart phone, but is not limited thereto.

The first apparatus110and/or the second apparatus120may access the Internet to allow a user to access a website, and/or may allow a program and/or application to be executed thereon. The program and/or application may be designed to convert a voice of a user into a text format that may be printed onto a label that is specifically designed to be placed on a medical document, such as an x-ray, a medical file, an MRI, etc., but is not limited thereto.

For ease of description the first apparatus110will be hereinafter interpreted to be a mobile device, and the second apparatus120will be hereinafter interpreted to be a desktop computer.

The first apparatus110may include an input unit111, such as a microphone, to allow the user to input audio data into the first apparatus110by speaking into or near the input unit111, and a processor112to convert the input audio data into text data that is specifically formatted for the label of the medical document. The processor112may also include or may be connected to a storage unit to store the audio data and/or the converted text data, a central processing unit to process any type of data, and a communication unit to receive and/or transmit any type of data from and/or to the second apparatus120and/or the image forming apparatus130via the network140. The first apparatus110may also include a display unit to display the data thereon, and a touch screen and/or keyboard/keypad to allow further input of data into the first apparatus110.

The second apparatus120may include an input unit121, such as a microphone, to allow the user to input audio data into the first apparatus120by speaking into or near the input unit121, and a processor122to convert the input audio data into text data that is specifically formatted for the label of the medical document. The processor122may also include or may be connected to a storage unit to store the audio data and/or the converted text data, a central processing unit to process any type of data, and a communication unit to receive and/or transmit any type of data from and/or to the first apparatus110and/or the image forming apparatus130via the network140. The second apparatus120may also include a display unit to display the data thereon, and a touch screen and/or keyboard/keypad to allow further input of data into the first apparatus120.

As such, the user (e.g., a doctor) may begin speaking, and the first apparatus110and/or the second apparatus120may begin automatically recording a voice of the user. The processor112and/or the processor122may convert the input audio data into text data that is specifically formatted for the label of the medical document, and may send the text data to the image forming apparatus130, which then prints out the label including the text data onto an x-ray or any other type of medical document desired by the user.

Alternatively, the user (e.g., a doctor) may begin speaking, and the first apparatus110may begin automatically recording a voice of the user. The processor112may convert the input audio data into text data that is specifically formatted for the label of the medical document, and may send the text data to the second apparatus120, which may display the text data on a display screen thereof to allow the user to manipulate the text data onto an x-ray or medical document displayed on the display screen. Then, the user may send the displayed x-ray or medical document to the image forming apparatus130, which then may print the x-ray or medical document.

Referring toFIG. 1, the network140may be at least one of the Internet, a cellular network, a universal mobile telecommunications systems (UMTS) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network, a local area network (LAN), a virtual private network (VPN) coupled to the LAN, a private cellular network, a private telephone network, a private computer network, a private packet switching network, a private line switching network, a private wide area network (WAN), a corporate network, or any number of private networks that can be referred to as an Intranet. The network140can be implemented with any number of hardware and software components, transmission media, and network protocols.FIG. 1illustrates the network140as a single network, but is not limited thereto.

The first apparatus110and the second apparatus120can both can send data to, and receive data from each other over via the Internet or any of the above-mentioned networks. The first apparatus110and the second apparatus120can be directly coupled to the image forming apparatus130. Alternatively, the first apparatus110and the second apparatus120can be connected to the image forming apparatus130via any other suitable device, communication network, or combination thereof. For example, the first apparatus110can be coupled to the image forming apparatus130via routers, switches, access points, and/or communication networks. In other words, the image forming apparatus130, the apparatus110, and the apparatus120may all communicate with each other via the network140.
