  • Selection biasing
    Patent number: 10545647
    Abstract: In some implementations, data indicating a touch received on a proximity-sensitive display is received while the proximity-sensitive display is presenting one or more items. In one aspect, the techniques describe may involve a process for disambiguating touch selections of hypothesized items, such as text or graphical objects that have been generated based on input data, on a proximity-sensitive display. This process may allow a user to more easily select hypothesized items that the user may wish to correct, by determining whether a touch received through the proximity-sensitive display represents a selection of each hypothesized item based at least on a level of confidence that the hypothesized item accurately represents the input data.

  • Speech endpointing based on word comparisons
    Patent number: 10546576
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for speech endpointing based on word comparisons are described. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of obtaining a transcription of an utterance. The actions further include determining, as a first value, a quantity of text samples in a collection of text samples that (i) include terms that match the transcription, and (ii) do not include any additional terms. The actions further include determining, as a second value, a quantity of text samples in the collection of text samples that (i) include terms that match the transcription, and (ii) include one or more additional terms. The actions further include classifying the utterance as a likely incomplete utterance or not a likely incomplete utterance based at least on comparing the first value and the second value.
