Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate yielding closed caption service associated with real time communication. For example, audio data and video data can be obtained from an active speaker in a real time teleconference. Moreover, the audio data can be converted into a set of characters (e.g., text data) that can be transmitted to other participants of the real time teleconference. Additionally, the real time teleconference can be a peer to peer conference (e.g., where a sending endpoint communicates with a receiving endpoint) and/or a multi-party conference (e.g., where an audio/video multi-point control unit (AVMCU) routes data such as the audio data, the video data, and the text data between endpoints).
