    Abstract: A portable music device may operate in response to user speech. In situations in which the music device is operating primarily from battery power, a push-to-talk (PTT) button may be used to indicate when the user is directing speech to the device. When the music device is receiving external power, the music device may continuously monitor a microphone signal to detect a user utterance of a wakeword, which may be used to indicate that subsequent speech is directed to the device. When operating from battery power, the device may send audio to a network-based support service for speech recognition and natural language understanding. When operating from external power, the speech recognition and/or natural language understanding may be performed by the music device itself.

    Abstract: A speech-based service platform includes a local device in a user premises and a network-based control service that directs the local device to perform actions for a user. The user may at times request that the service schedule a notification or other action at a specified future time or in response to other stimuli that may occur in the future. Upon receiving a request from the user, the control service immediately instructs the local device to schedule the notification or other action. If the control service is unable to contact the local device, however, the request is canceled and the user is notified that the action has not been scheduled. Non-priority actions requested by the user may be accepted and implemented at the local device when communications become available.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing virtual assistants to assist users during a voice communication between the users. For instance, a first user operating a device may establish a voice communication with respective devices of one or more additional users, such as with a device of a second user. For instance, the first user may utilize her device to place a telephone call to the device of the second user. A virtual assistant may also join the call and, upon invocation by a user on the call, may identify voice commands from the call and may perform corresponding tasks for the users in response.

    Abstract: A speech system may be configured to operate in conjunction with a stationary base device and a handheld remote device to receive voice commands from a user. Voice commands may be directed either to the base device or to the handheld device. When performing automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language understanding (NLU), dialog management, text-to-speech (TTS) conversion, and other speech-related tasks, the system may utilize various models, including ASR models, NLU models, dialog models, and TTS models. Different models may be used depending on whether the user has chosen to speak into the base device or the handheld audio device. The different models may be designed to accommodate the different characteristics of audio and speech that are present in audio provided by the two different components and the different characteristics of the environmental situation of the user.
