Publication number: 20240078374Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to causing emoji(s) that are associated with a given emotion class expressed by a spoken utterance to be visually rendered for presentation to a user at a display of a client device of the user. Processor(s) of the client device may receive audio data that captures the spoken utterance, process the audio data to generate textual data that is predicted to correspond to the spoken utterance, and cause a transcription of the textual data to be visually rendered for presentation to the user via the display. Further, the processor(s) may determine, based on processing the textual data, whether the spoken utterance expresses a given emotion class. In response to determining that the spoken utterance expresses the given emotion class, the processor(s) may cause emoji(s) that are stored in association with the given emotion class to be visually rendered for presentation to the user via the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Ajay Gokhale, Jiawei Chen, Alvin Abdagic, Adrien Olczak, Alessandro Agostini, Alexander Robertson, Cristian Udrescu, Jackie Xiang, Jennifer Daniel, Keqian Yan, Mehek Sharma, Nicolo D'Ercole, Yang Lu, Dror Ayalon
