  • Patent number: 11714526
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating content item to virtual meeting associations based upon whether content items are accessed during a virtual meeting. During a virtual meeting, a monitoring application executing on a personal computing device detects a user-input-triggered access of a content item during a virtual meeting. In response to detecting the user-input-triggered access of the content item, the monitoring application displays, in a computer graphical user interface, an indication that the monitoring application is associating the content item with the virtual meeting. The monitoring application stores content-item-to-virtual-meeting association data that associates the content item with the virtual meeting.

  • Patent number: 11656886
    Abstract: Accessibility for vision impaired users is improved with a novel screen reader system. A user interface control of a first application that switches a language applied to text displayed on the first application is identified to a second application. The second application stores an identifier for the user interface control and a value representative of the language selected by the user interface control to a data structure. The second application then listens for user control events occurring on the first application such as focus, click and selection events. When the second application detects the user interface control switching languages the second application changes the default screen reader language to the language of the visual text of the first application. Thus, the text-to-speech output of the visual text is read with the correct speech inflection and pronunciation of the selected language.
