Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for receiving, from a user device, data indicating a user performed a user input gesture combining a first display object in a plurality of display objects with a second display object in the plurality of display objects; identifying attributes that are associated with both the first display object and the second display object; and performing a search based on the attributes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for customizing the punctuation style of a transcription. A method includes receiving an utterance from a user, obtaining an unpunctuated transcription of the utterance, identifying an instance within the unpunctuated transcription where a punctuation mark may be placed, identifying, using data associated with the user, one or more past instances that are similar to the identified instance, punctuating the unpunctuated transcription based at least on the one or more past instances, and presenting the punctuated transcription to the user.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for voice authentication and command. In an aspect, a method comprises: receiving, by a data processing apparatus that is operating in a locked mode, audio data that encodes an utterance of a user, wherein the locked mode prevents the data processing apparatus from performing at least one action; providing, while the data processing apparatus is operating in the locked mode, the audio data to a voice biometric engine and a voice action engine; receiving, while the data processing apparatus is operating in the locked mode, an indication from the voice biometric engine that the user has been biometrically authenticated; and in response to receiving the indication, triggering the voice action engine to process a voice action that is associated with the utterance.

Abstract: A method performed by one or more processing devices includes receiving data indicative of dictated speech that has been spoken by a user during speech dictation; causing speech recognition to be performed on the data to obtain units of text; selecting a unit from the units, wherein the unit selected corresponds to a portion of the data received at a time that is more recent relative to times at which others of the units are received; and generating, based on an output of the speech recognition, data for a graphical user interface, that when rendered on a display device, causes the graphical user interface to display: a visual representation of the dictated speech, wherein the visual representation includes a visual indicator of the unit selected; and a control for performing dictation correction on the unit selected in real-time during the speech dictation.
