Base Claim:
1. A method comprising: establishing, by a computer having at least one processor and a memory, a communication session for multiple communication devices, wherein: at least two communication devices of the multiple communication devices participate in the communication session as video communication devices, each video communication device is configured to provide audio and video for the communication session, each video communication device is configured to receive audio and video for the communication session, at least one communication device of the multiple communication devices participates in the communication session as an audio communication device, and each audio communication device is configured to provide and receive audio, but not video, for the communication session; connecting a first video communication device to the communication session; connecting a second video communication device to the communication session; receiving a request to connect an audio communication device to the communication session; connecting the audio communication device to the communication session; receiving encoded speech from the audio communication device; performing speech recognition on the encoded speech to obtain speech-recognized text; comparing the speech-recognized text to one or more names stored in a names database; adjusting the speech-recognized text based at least in part on the comparison to generate output text associated with the speech-recognized text; and providing the output text to at least one of the first and second video communication devices for visual identification of the audio communication device.

Claim 12:
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication session is a first communication session and the audio communication device is a first audio communication device, the method further comprising: storing, by a storage device of the computer, a first voice sample of a participant received from the first audio communication device connected to the first communication session, wherein the output text is associated with the first voice sample; terminating the first communication session; initiating a second communication session with at least a second audio communication device; receiving a second voice sample from the participant received from the second audio communication device connected to the second communication session; comparing the first voice sample with the second voice sample from the second audio communication device; and sending, by the computer, the output text to at least a third communication device connected to the second communication session when the second voice sample matches the first voice sample within a selected threshold level.
