  • Patent number: 11403064
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing the content capture experience on computing devices. In an implementation, a combined user input comprises a voice signal and a touch gesture sustained at least partially coincident with the voice signal. An occurrence of the combined user input triggers the identification of an associated content object which may then be associated with a captured version of the voice signal. Such an advance provides users with a new framework for interacting with their devices, applications, and surroundings.

  • Patent number: 11303464
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for associating images with content items. In an implementation, a computing device determines that an image captured of a scene includes a display of meeting content. The device identifies a content item comprising a source of the meeting content in the scene and may then create an association between an instance of the image and an instance of the content item. The device may, for example, create a link to the content item that can be embedded in or otherwise associated with the image file. The reverse may also be accomplished, whereby a link to the image may be created and embedded in or otherwise associated with the content item.

  • Patent number: 10540432
    Abstract: Reading time indicators for display within a content authoring application are provided herein. Estimates of reading times for the content item as a whole, and of sections thereof, are created as the author manipulates content within a document. These estimates are displayed as indicators within the content authoring application and the document, to inform the author of how long a reader is expected to take when consuming the document. The functionality of the computing device running the content authoring application is thus improved by providing content limit indicators related to consumption time.
