Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to providing in-person audio access for remote users. A remote access audio system can detect in-person audio through an array of microphones installed at a site. The remote access audio system can process the in-person audio using speech recognition techniques to determine that an in-person conversation is occurring. The remote access audio system can apply a model to the in-person conversation to determine whether the conversation is relevant to a remote user and transmit an option for the remote user to remotely join or be added to the conversation.
