Connect Obi200 through a PC wireless
magno_grail:
A "wireless bridge" is not what I want. It connects the raspberry to the modem with a LAN cable. I do not have wire access to the modem, only wireless.
The problem with the caption phone is it requires someone to listen to the conversation and type it in. I doubt they do that for free and you do not want to discuss medical or banking information on a phone where some unknown person is listening.
So the problem remains on connecting the Obi to the raspberry by USB or ethernet cable and have it connect to the internet, is this possible?
Also, doing searches requires knowing the key words that other people use. "Connect Obi to raspberry pi" gave no results. The only close result was something called rasPBX and asterisk. Typing that in gave no information on what it actually does. It is some sort of VOIP or local e-mail network.

For info.
USB is not a symmetrical system. One end is host and one end is client. The USB port on an OBi is a host. The USB ports on a computer are hosts. Ever wondered why USB cables with full size "flat" USB plugs at both ends are as rare as hens' teeth? Ditto cables with two of those USB plugs that would be almost square if not for the two chamfered corners
The software drivers in an OBi for the USB port support only the original 2.4 GHz OBi branded Wi-Fi dongle, the newer dual band OBi branded dongle and maybe USB storage devices. Not absolutely sure about the storage devices as the facility to use them appears to have been removed from recent OBi firmwares.
The only model of RPi that can function as USB host and USB client at the same time is the 4B but even that is a long way from making it appear to the OBi as, and communicate with the OBi as, an OBi Wi-Fi dongle.

I don't pretend to understand exactly the scenario of your desired voice to text setup but https://nerdvittles.com/?p=32202 may be of interest.

I’m nowhere near a network expert, so maybe I have my terminology wrong. I think you plug a device into a wireless bridge with an ethernet cable. The wireless bridge connects to the main router via WiFi, giving the device access to the internet.
The Windows solution I gave you is basically setting up a PC as a wireless bridge. You plug the OBi into the Windows PC via ethernet cable. The PC connects to the main router via WiFi, giving the OBi access to the internet.
DD-WRT router firmware has a solution called Client Bridged. See this thread:

The DD-WRT website is up, but their Wiki with the configuration instructions is offline.
When I searched for “RPi wireless bridge” I assumed the hits I got were doing the same. I did not read any of the instructions.
If you want to use your RPi, you probably will get better support at a RPi forum.

Indeed. The name of one of the posters in the thread https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=310907 might ring a bell.
