    Abstract: A messaging system, which hosts a backend service for an associated messaging client, includes a voice chat system that provides voice chat functionality that enables users to dictate their messages, while delivering the resulting message to the intended recipient as both the associated audio and text content. When a user at a sender client device begins dictating a voice message, the voice chat system starts converting the received audio stream into text and, also, starts communicating the audio content together with the generated text to the recipient client device. The recipient user can listen to the voice message and read the text generated from the audio in real time. It is also possible for the recipient user to consume the voice message in a textual form only, if the sound at the client device is undesirable.

    Abstract: Method of generating a contextual application menu starts with processor causing client device's display screen to display a first and a second portion of the display screen in an inactivated position. Processor causes the first portion to display application interface associated with an application, and cause the second portion to display action bar that is associated with messaging system. Processor receives a selection from a user of the client device of a settings selectable item in the action bar and in response, processor generates a settings menu based a context of the client device. Processor then causes the first portion and the second portion of the display screen to be displayed in an activated position. Processor can cause the first portion of the display screen to contract, and cause the second portion of the display screen to expand and to comprise the settings menu. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.
