Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enhance the efficiency and functionality of directory systems. This is accomplished by augmenting a primary table with an extended table for storing properties of an associated entity (e.g., a user, a company). A table serves to organize directory data and comprises rows and columns. Each row of the primary table stores an entity with each column storing an associated property. In contrast, the primary table is configured with an extended table in which each row of the extended table stores a property for an associated entity while each column stores additional information for the property such as timestamps and metadata. Storing specific properties in the extended table eliminates empty spaces in the primary table thereby reducing the volume of stored data. Moreover, by including additional data for properties, the extended table enables property-specific features such as search, synchronization, extensibility, and lifecycle management.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for integrating speech-to-text transcription in a productivity application are presented. A request to access a real-time speech-to-text transcription of an audio signal that is being received by a second device is sent by a first device. The real-time speech-to-text transcription may be surfaced in a transcription pane of a productivity application on the first device. A request to translate the transcription to a different language may be received. The transcription may be translated in real-time and surfaced in the transcription pane. A selection of a word in the surfaced transcription may be received. A request to drag the word from the transcription pane and drop it in a window in the productivity application outside of the transcription pane may be received. The word may be surfaced in the window in the productivity application outside of the transcription pane.
