Abstract
Techniques for ability enhancement are described. Some embodiments provide an ability enhancement facilitator system ('AEFS') configured to enhance voice conferencing among multiple speakers. Some embodiments of the AEFS enhance voice conferencing by recording, translating and presenting voice conference history information based on speaker-related information, wherein the translation is based on language identification using multiple speech recognizers and GPS information. The AEFS receives data that represents utterances of multiple speakers who are engaging in a voice conference with one another. The AEFS then determines speaker-related information, such as by identifying a current speaker, locating an information item (e.g., an email message, document) associated with the speaker, or the like. The AEFS records conference history information (e.g., a transcript) based on the determined speaker-related information. The AEFS then informs a user of the conference history information, such as by presenting a transcript of the voice conference and/or related information items on a display of a conferencing device associated with the user.
