TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROVIDING TEXTUAL INFORMATION AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING THE SAME

Technologies for providing textual information are described. In some embodiments the technologies include an audio sensor, a loudspeaker, and a voice to text server. The audio sensor may function to detect an audio input and produce a first signal containing auditory information. The auditory information may be conveyed to the loudspeaker and the voice to text server. The voice to text server may function to convert the auditory information to textual information and transmit the textual information to one or more client devices, e.g., in a text message. Systems, methods, and devices including or utilizing such technology are also described.
