Abstract
Mobile phone signals may be corrupted by noise, fading, interference with other signals, and low strength field coverage of a transmitting and/or a receiving mobile phone as they pass through the communication network (e.g., free space). Because of the corruption of the mobile phone signal, a voice conversation between a caller and a receiver may be interrupted and there may be gaps in a received oral communication from one or more participants in the voice conversation forcing either or both the caller and the receiver to repeat the conversation. Transmitting a transcript of the oral communication along with a voice signal comprising the oral communication can help ensure that voice conversation is not interrupted due to a corrupted voice signal. The transcript of the oral communication can be used to retrieve parts of the oral communication lost in transmission (e.g., by fading, etc.) to make the conversation more fluid.
