  • Speech processing procurement system
    Patent number: 11423451
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for a speech processing procurement system. In various examples, recommendations may be provided by back-end systems. The recommendations may be ranked by a machine learning model, and may be sorted and filtered for a particular output device. Various voice guidance workflows may be invoked through user interaction with a speech processing procurement system. The workflows may be used to surface pre-recorded voice memos and/or to determine recommendations based on dynamically updated procurement policies.
