Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting language dialects for a user to improve a user interface of an application are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system receives a request to determine a default dialect for an application executing on a user device. The system acquires user information corresponding to a user of the user device. Based on the user information and using a clustering algorithm, the system assigns the user to a cluster associated with a dialect. The system provides the dialect to the user device for display in a user interface as part of a sliding scale of selectable dialects of the application such that the dialect is provided as the default dialect for text and other message communications in the application. The system learns from the user's choice of dialect to provide more accurate dialect predictions in the future for other users.

Abstract: An electronic device with a primary functionality and a tracking functionality can be used in a centralized tracking system. A controller configures the electronic device to operate in one of a set of: an “on” mode, an “off” mode, a first standby mode, and a tracking standby mode. While configured to operate in the “on” mode, the primary and tracking functionality of the electronic device are enabled, and while configured to operate in the “off” mode, both are disabled. While configured to operate in the first standby mode, the tracking functionality is enabled and the primary functionality is limited. While configured to operate in the tracking standby mode, the primary functionality is disabled but the tracking functionality is enabled, enabling the electronic device to be located while the primary functionality is disabled and saving power relative to the first standby mode and the “on” mode.

Abstract: Techniques for ensuring content output to a user conforms to a quality of the user's speech, even when a speechlet or skill ignores the speech's quality, are described. When a system receives speech, the system determines an indicator of the speech's quality (e.g., whispered, shouted, fast, slow, etc.) and persists the indicator in memory. When the system receives output content from a speechlet or skill, the system checks whether the output content is in conformity with the speech quality indicator. If the content conforms to the speech quality indicator, the system may cause the content to be output to the user without further manipulation. But, if the content does not conform to the speech quality indicator, the system may manipulate the content to render it in conformity with the speech quality indicator and output the manipulated content to the user.
