  • Publication number: 20220157309
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to providing suggestions, via a display modality, for completing a spoken utterance for an automated assistant, in order to reduce a frequency and/or a length of time that the user will participate in a current and/or subsequent dialog session with the automated assistant. A user request can be compiled from content of an ongoing spoken utterance and content of any selected suggestion elements. When a currently compiled portion of the user request (from content of a selected suggestion(s) and an incomplete spoken utterance) is capable of being performed via the automated assistant, any actions corresponding to the currently compiled portion of the user request can be performed via the automated assistant. Furthermore, any further content resulting from performance of the actions, along with any discernible context, can be used for providing further suggestions.

  • Publication number: 20220013104
    Abstract: A computing system and related techniques for selecting content to be automatically converted to speech and provided as an audio signal are provided. A text-to-speech request associated with a first document can be received that includes data associated with a playback position of a selector associated with a text-to-speech interface overlaid on the first document. First content associated with the first document can be determined based at least in part on the playback position, the first content including content that is displayed in the user interface at the playback position. The first document can be analyzed to identify one or more structural features associated with the first content. Speech data can be generated based on the first content and the one or more structural features.
