  • Publication number: 20240153501
    Abstract: Techniques for providing a standardized voice user interface (VUI) that enables voice to voice natural language understanding (NLU) processing are described. The standardized VUI may be added to speechlets to enable a customer to interact with a business via server(s) using NLU processing. For example, a first user may initiate a first voice interaction using NLU processing with the server(s) and the system may initiate a second voice interaction using NLU processing between the server(s) and a second user. This enables a customer to initiate a transaction (e.g., request information, place an order, make a reservation, etc.) with the business using the speechlet. Thus, the business may use the speechlet to offer services without requiring additional infrastructure or complicated programming to implement.

  • Patent number: 11393451
    Abstract: A speech processing system configured to convey linked content to a user in a voice user interface (VUI) environment is described. The system may create output audio data that includes an audible indicator (e.g., a beep) that indicates to a user linked content. An audible indicator may be located at the beginning and/or end of linked content in the output audio data. The system may also output non-linked content in a first voice while outputting linked content in a second voice. The system may further overlay audio atop the linked portion of the output audio data, with the overlaid audio indicating the linked content to the user. A user may invoke linked content in output audio by speaking the linked content, or a portion thereof, back to the system. The system may then output the linked, additional content to the user.
