Publication number: 20240078083Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can selectively determine whether to incorporate a verbatim interpretation of portions spoken utterances into an entry field and/or incorporate synonymous content into the entry field. For instance, a user can be accessing an interface that provides an entry field (e.g., address field) for receiving user input. In order to provide input for entry field, the user can select the entry field and/or access a GUI keyboard to initialize an automated assistant for assisting with filling the entry field. Should the user provide a spoken utterance, the user can elect to provide a spoken utterance that embodies the intended input (e.g., an actual address) or a reference to the intended input (e.g., a name). In response to the spoken utterance, the automated assistant can fill the entry field with the intended input without necessitating further input from the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Srikanth Pandiri, Luv Kolhari, Behshad Behzadi, Zaheed Sabur, Domenico Carbotta, Akshay Kannan, Qi Wang, Gokay Baris Gultekin, Angana Ghosh, Xu Liu, Yang Lu, Steve Cheng

Publication number: 20240029728Abstract: Implementations described herein generally relate to generating a modification selectable element that may be provided for presentation to a user in a smart dictation session with an automated assistant. The modification selectable element may, when selected, cause a transcription, that includes textual data generated based on processing audio data that captures a spoken utterance and that is automatically arranged, to be modified. The transcription may be automatically arranged to include spacing, punctuation, capitalization, indentations, paragraph breaks, and/or other arrangement operations that are not specified by the user in providing the spoken utterance. Accordingly, a subsequent selection of the modification selectable element may cause these automatic arrangement operation(s), and/or the textual data locationally proximate to these automatic arrangement operation(s), to be modified.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Nicolo D'Ercole, Shumin Zhai, Swante Scholz, Mehek Sharma, Adrien Olczak, Akshay Kannan, Alvin Abdagic, Julia Proskurnia, Viesturs Zarins

Patent number: 8788926Abstract: In one aspect, a method and apparatus is provided for reducing ink consumption when printing electronic documents. An electronic document is processed to identify different elements of the document, such as images, text blocks, and advertisements. Once the element identification is complete, a score is assigned to each one of the elements. The scores are then compared against a threshold T and only elements whose scores exceed the threshold T are printed. By filtering out some of the elements of the electronic document, the method and apparatus conserves ink and other printer consumables.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2012Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Akshay Kannan, Yuri G.
