    Abstract: Systems and processes for robust end-pointing of speech signals using speaker recognition are provided. In one example process, a stream of audio having a spoken user request can be received. A first likelihood that the stream of audio includes user speech can be determined. A second likelihood that the stream of audio includes user speech spoken by an authorized user can be determined. A start-point or an end-point of the spoken user request can be determined based at least in part on the first likelihood and the second likelihood.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a user device can personalize a media stream by converting notifications into audio speech data and presenting the audio speech data at locations within the media stream that do not interrupt the enjoyment of the media stream by the user. In some implementations, the user device can receive notifications from various communication services, applications installed on the user device, and/or other sources, determine information describing the notifications, and present the information to the user using the audio speech data. In some implementations, the user device can generate personalized notifications based on the media stream and/or media items selected by the user. The user device can generate personalized notifications based on the user's context (e.g., environment, location, activity, etc.). The personalized notifications can then be presented to the user using audio speech data at appropriate locations in the media stream.

    Abstract: While an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface is in a screen reader accessibility mode, the device displays an application launcher screen including a plurality of application icons. A respective application icon corresponds to a respective application stored in the device. The device detects a sequence of one or more gestures on the touch-sensitive surface that correspond to one or more characters. A respective gesture that corresponds to a respective character is a single finger gesture that moves across the touch-sensitive surface along a respective path that corresponds to the respective character. The device determines whether the detected sequence of one or more gestures corresponds to a respective application icon of the plurality of application icons, and, in response to determining that the detected sequence of one or more gestures corresponds to the respective application icon, performs a predefined operation associated with the respective application icon.

    Abstract translation: 虽然具有显示器和触敏表面的电子设备处于屏幕阅读器可访问性模式中,但是该设备显示包括多个应用图标的应用启动器屏幕。 相应的应用图标对应于存储在设备中的相应应用。 设备检测对应于一个或多个字符的触敏表面上的一个或多个手势的序列。 对应于相应字符的相应手势是沿着对应于相应字符的相应路径跨越触敏表面移动的单个手指手势。 所述设备确定检测到的一个或多个手势的序列是否对应于多个应用图标的相应应用图标,并且响应于确定所检测的一个或多个手势的序列对应于相应的应用图标,执行预定义的 与相应的应用程序图标相关的操作。

    Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for virtual assistant request recognition using live usage data and data relating to future events. User requests that are received but not recognized can be used to generate candidate request templates. A count can be associated with each candidate request template and can be incremented each time a matching candidate request template is received. When a count reaches a threshold level, the corresponding candidate request template can be used to train a virtual assistant to recognize and respond to similar user requests in the future. In addition, data relating to future events can be mined to extract relevant information that can be used to populate both recognized user request templates and candidate user request templates. Populated user request templates (e.g., whole expected utterances) can then be used to recognize user requests and disambiguate user intent as future events become relevant.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing reminders based on social interactions between users of electronic devices are described. Social reminders can be set to trigger based on social interactions of users. For example, a user may request to be reminded to discuss a certain discussion topic with a particular phonebook contact, when the user next encounters the contact.
