Abstract: Approaches provide for generating an introductory text message to be delivered to a recipient when a voice-enabled communications device is used to send a message to the recipient for a first time. For example, audio input data that includes an instruction to send a text message can be received and an application can analyze the audio input data to determine an instruction to send a text message, a message body, and an intended recipient of the text message. The application can determine whether a text message has previously been sent to the intended recipient using the voice-enabled communications device or another device associated with the customer's account. In the situation where a text message has been sent, a text message is generated that includes the message body and the application causes the text message to be sent to the intended recipient.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining and/or presenting supplemental content associated with media content. In some embodiments, supplemental content may include information regarding characters, places, events, and/or user generated data associated with media content. Supplemental content may be determined through the use of one or more indexes and/or data structures that relate media content with supplemental content items. User interfaces may be generated to present the supplemental content items in a particular order, layout, and/or streaming animation to provide context for the user. In some embodiments, the user interfaces including the supplemental content may be configured to receive user input for navigation of the media content.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enabling user interaction with content markers of a content item. Content markers can generally correspond to any point of interest in the content item. In one embodiment, a scrub bar is provided enabling user navigation to locations within the content item. As a user utilizes the scrub bar to select a location corresponding to a content marker, a haptic notification is provided to the user indicative of a corresponding point of interest. Thereafter, the user may halt interaction with the scrub bar to being playback of the content item at the point of interest. In another embodiment, a user is enabled to provide input perpendicular to a displayed scrub bar to alternate between multiple available scrub bars and/or points of interest. For example, multiple scrub bars may be provided, each associated with a given type of point of interest.

Abstract: A computing device may provide an interface that enables a user to synchronously present an item of primary content and a corresponding braille translation. The item of primary content may be an audio book, an e-book, or other form of media. The item of primary content may include supplemental information which may correspond, for example, to character descriptions, place descriptions, image descriptions, endnotes, footnotes, glossaries, appendices, commentary from an author, editor, or other party, or to additional supplemental information, and which may also have a corresponding braille translation. During presentation of the item of primary content, a user may indicate that an item of supplemental information associated with a current presentation position of the item of primary content should be presented. In some embodiments, this indication may be in response to an indication to the user that supplemental information is available.
