  • Publication number: 20240371378
    Abstract: Systems and processes for operating a digital assistant are provided. An example method for processing an image include receiving an image, generating, based on the image, a question corresponding to a first object in the image, generating, based on the image, a caption corresponding to a second object of the image, receiving an utterance from a user, and determining a plurality of speech recognition results from the utterance based on the question and the caption.

  • Patent number: 9971774
    Abstract: Methods and systems for searching for media items using a voice-based digital assistant are described. Natural language text strings corresponding to search queries are provided. The search queries include query terms. The text strings may correspond to speech inputs input by a user into an electronic device. At least one information source is searched to identify at least one parameter associated with at least one of the query terms. The parameters include at least one of a time parameter, a date parameter, or a geo-code parameter. The parameters are compared to tags of media items to identify matches. In some implementations, media items whose tags match the parameter are presented to the user.
