Abstract: Applications on a computing device provide notifications associated with the application to a notification system. A notification includes an identification of content to be presented for the notification and an indication of when the content is to be presented. The notification system presents the notification content at the appropriate time regardless of whether the application is executing and without resuming execution of the application if the application is not running. Various power efficiency techniques are also used to determine which notifications are presented and when a user interface is updated to reflect those notifications in order to avoid updating the user interface to reflect notifications that would not be observable (e.g., due to a power mode of the computing device).

Abstract: The functionality of devices used to translate transcribed events is augmented to provide on-demand translations as well as prioritized gap filling in incomplete translations. In various aspects, the transcript is provided as a readout or as captioning that is presented in concert with the event being transcribed. When an initial request for translated captioning is made, the translated captions are generated in near real-time and provided to the requestor for as long as the requestor continues to view the event. In some aspects, generation and provision of translated captions cease once the requestor is no longer consuming captions in the given language. In additional aspects, translation of as-of-yet untranslated portions of the transcript for a given language (i.e., gaps), are filled according to a prioritization scheme, so that translated transcripts may be provided for the entire transcript for users in various languages.

Abstract: The generation and presentation of text based on an audiovisual content item are improved by providing audience members with interface tools to quickly and intuitively modify text items in real-time as the audience consumes the audiovisual content item. The audience members' selections are provided to an aggregation engine as the audience consumes the content item and influences future selections for transcribing content items and future transmission of the transcript to the audience. The editor interface provides the n-best suggestions to replace a given word or words in the text and to add richness to the text for improved functionality in receiving accurate and readable text conversions from audiovisual content items. The aggregation engine harnesses the crowd knowledge provided by the audience devices and directs its impact to reduce the effect of intentional or accidental bad actors on the transcript.

Abstract: The generation and presentation of text based on an audiovisual content item are improved by providing a moderator with interface tools to quickly and intuitively modify text items in real-time as the audience consumes the audiovisual content item. The moderator's selections are provided to the audience as they consume the content item and influences future selections of content items. The moderator's interface provides the n-best suggestions to replace a given word or words in the text and to add richness to the text for improved functionality in receiving accurate and readable text conversions from audiovisual content items.

Abstract: The functionality of devices used to transcribe events is augmented with a contextual dictionary for the event to be transcribed. Contextual information for the event are discovered, which are used to customize the dictionary to the event and to locate supplemental contextual information in a graph database to further customize the event. Supplemental contextual information include the parsed names and vocabulary items discovered in the one or more data sources for entities related to those discovered in a graph database are being related to the contextual information according to one or more graph queries. The supplemental context information provides terminology and names that may be spoken during the event, but otherwise would have been omitted from affecting the contextualized dictionary according to the contextual information.

Abstract: A notification service receives messages including various data from application services, and provides notifications including that data to the appropriate computing devices. Each computing device includes a notification system that receives notifications from the notification service and provides those notifications to the appropriate applications on the computing device. If an application is not allowed to run on a computing device, the notification system on the computing device provides an indication to the notification service to block notifications for the application on the computing device. The notification service ceases providing notifications to a computing device targeting applications for which notifications are blocked on the computing device until an indication is received from the computing device to unblock notifications for the application.
