Method for dual channel monitoring on a radio device

摘要

A method for dual channel monitoring on a radio device as provided enables efficient use of communication network resources. The method includes receiving at the radio device a first speech signal over a first channel, while simultaneously receiving at the radio device a second speech signal over a second channel. The first speech signal is then processed at the radio device to generate a text transcription of the first speech signal, and the text transcription of the first speech signal is displayed on a display screen of the radio device. An audible voice signal is then produced from a speaker that is operatively connected to the radio device simultaneously with displaying the text transcription of the first speech signal.

1. A method for dual channel monitoring on a radio device, the method comprising:
receiving, by the radio device, a first speech signal over a first channel associated with a first active talkgroup to which the radio device is subscribed; receiving, by the radio device, simultaneously with the first speech signal, a second speech signal over a second channel associated with a second active talkgroup to which the radio device is also subscribed; processing the first speech signal, by the radio device, to generate a text transcription of the first speech signal; displaying, by the radio device, the text transcription of the first speech signal on a display screen of the radio device; and producing, by the radio device, from the second speech signal a first audible voice signal from a speaker that is operatively connected to the radio device without producing a second audible voice signal from the first speech signal, wherein the producing the first audible voice signal is performed simultaneously with the displaying the text transcription of the first speech signal.
