Abstract: A data processing system implements displaying, on a first device to a first participant, a first user interface for presentation of audio content, the first user interface including a navigation tool configured to visually represent contextual events in the audio content and a first selectable indicator linked to a second participant. The data processing system further implements receiving a first user selection of the first selectable indicator; and initiating, in response to at least the first user selection, a first telecommunication session between the first participant and the second participant.

Abstract: An audio-visual management system and process for facilitating comprehension of electronic documents. As an example, a user may access contents of an electronic document via a user interface and request a speech-synthesized recitation of any text in the electronic document. In addition, the user interface can include a navigation tool configured to visually represent significant events in the electronic document via selectable indicators, including but not limited to comments, slides, images, graphs, and/or other internal contextual markers. These indicators can serve as navigation options that can provide guidance to users as they listen to a reading of the electronic document. User selection of an indicator can initiate an audio presentation of textual content that is directly associated with the specified event. In addition, users can view availability of others currently listening to the document and connect with them to create a joint listening experience.

Abstract: Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for automated task processing with escalation. An overall task to be achieved (e.g., scheduling a meeting) can be broken down into a grouping of (e.g., loosely-coupled) asynchronous sub-tasks. Completing the grouping of sub-tasks completes the overall task. Performance of some sub-tasks can be automated. Other sub-tasks can be escalated for performance by micro workers. When a micro worker is unable to perform a sub-task, the overall task can be escalated to a macro worker. Accordingly, a three tiered approach of automation, micro workers, and macro workers is scalable, cost efficient, and also provides flexibility to accurately handle more complex tasks and sub-tasks.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards opportunity cards that provide a user with straightforward access to other content of a website that may be interesting to a user, as well as other information and recommendations. Opportunity cards are generated for a user based upon user profile data, and may recommend and provide links to other website content that the user is likely to be interested in and/or has likely not already seen. The opportunity cards may be presented in conjunction with the content, such as inline, interspersed among a stream of posts of content.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for creating a saga from signal-rich digital memories. User-related content, such as media elements and/or other signals, are captured and used to generate a digital memory graph, comprising the captured user-related content and associated metadata. An interactive saga of digital media elements is created using the digital memory graph by combining at least a portion of a plurality of digital media elements, from the captured user-related content, based on one or more user interactions.
