Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are described herein for enhanced conferencing. A computing device monitor user participation. The computing device may modify conferencing parameters based on the user participation. By monitoring device and user participation, modifying conferencing parameters may be aimed at increasing or decreasing participation by a user or users.

Abstract: A plurality of voice models may be available for annunciating a sign language sign. The voice models may represent different types of annunciation (e.g., happy, angry, sad, etc.), and contextual information may be used to dynamically select a voice model for annunciating a recognized sign language sign in any environment, such as a presentation or a video meeting.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for modifying language and/or recording settings of a computing device based on audio data. Audio data comprising speech may be received by a computing device. The computing device may process the audio data to determine one or more properties of speech of one or more users. Based on the one or more properties of the speech, language settings and/or recording settings may be modified. For example, subtitles may be displayed or removed, accessibility features may be implemented, different content may be displayed, and/or machine translation functions may be activated. Such language and/or recording settings may be stored in a user profile, which may be used by a variety of computing devices.

Abstract: Upon detection of a gesture, a current context of an environment in which the gesture is performed may be determined. The current context may be used to interpret the gesture to determine which of potentially a plurality of devices are to be controlled by the gesture and whether the gesture is configured to control the determined device(s) in the current context. The current context may also be used to determine whether to adjust a threshold for determining whether the gesture is intended as a control command. An aspect of the detected gesture may be compared to the threshold to determine whether the gesture is intended as a control command. If the gesture is intended as a control command, the determined device(s) may be controlled accordingly.
