  • Patent number: 11887589
    Abstract: Techniques for voice-based interactions are described. In an example, a device presents a user interface on a display. The device starts an operational mode of the device. The operational mode restricts voice-based interactions with the user interface to a set of commands. The set of commands is defined in a language model that is stored on the device. Further, the device receives, at a microphone of the device, audio data corresponding to a natural language utterance and generates, from the audio data, text data that corresponds to the natural language utterance. The device determines, based at least in part on the language model, that semantics of the text data correspond to a command from the set of commands and presents, on the display, an outcome of performing the command.

  • Publication number: 20220156039
    Abstract: Systems and methods for voice control of computing devices are disclosed. Applications may be downloaded and/or accessed by a device having a display, and content associated with the applications may be displayed. Many applications do not allow for voice commands to be utilized to interact with the displayed content. Improvements described herein allow for non-voice-enabled applications to utilize voice commands to interact with displayed content by determining screen data displayed by the device and utilizing the screen data to determine an intent associated with the application. Directive data to perform an action corresponding to the intent may be sent to the device and may be utilized to perform the action on an object associated with the displayed content.
