Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for outputting indications regarding voice-based interactions are described. A first speech-controlled device detects spoken audio corresponding to recipient information. The first device captures the audio and sends audio data corresponding to the captured audio to a server. The server determines a second speech-controlled device of the recipient and sends a signal to the recipient's second speech-controlled device representing a message is forthcoming. The recipient's second speech-controlled device outputs and indication representing a message is forthcoming.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, context-driven device arbitration techniques to select a speech interface device from multiple speech interface devices to provide a response to a command included in a speech utterance of a user. In some examples, the context-driven arbitration techniques may include executing multiple pipeline instances to analyze audio signals and device metadata received from each of the multiple speech interface devices which detected the speech utterance. A remote speech processing service may execute the multiple pipeline instances and analyze the audio signals and/or metadata, at various stages of the pipeline instances, to determine which speech interface device is to respond to the speech utterance.

Abstract: Techniques for announcing a communications session after the communications session is established between multiple user devices are described. In an example, a computer system may instruct a first user device to establish a communications session with a second user device. The computer system may receive, from the second user device, data indicating a request of the first user device for the communications session. Based at least in part on the data, the computer system may generate content associated with the first user device. The computer system may also instruct the second user device to accept the request and present the content after the communications session is established between the first user device and the second user device.

Abstract: Methods and devices for causing a communications session between a first device and a second device to end based on lack of speech activity are described herein. In some embodiments, a communications between a first device and a second device may be initiated by the first device, where a first user account associated with the first device is authorized to initiate communications session with the second device by a second user account. After the communications session is started, audio data is received by a speech activity detection system, which determines whether the audio data represents speech or non-speech. If, after the communications session begins, non-speech is detected by the first device for more than a predefined amount of time, then the communications session is caused to end so that the first device is not capable of receiving video and/or audio associated with the second device.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting spam accounts in a system are described. The system may analyze speech characteristics of communication content (e.g., telephone call content, VoIP content, audio messaging, etc.) to determine whether multiple devices or user profiles are associated with overlapping communications. The system may also analyze text transcriptions of communication content to determine whether multiple devices or user profiles are associated with overlapping communications. If so, the system may mitigate, such as throttling service, disabling accounts, and the like.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting spam accounts in a system are described. When a system creates a user profile, the system may ingest a blocked communications list. The system may determine how many times each blocked communications number represented in the ingested blocked communications list is included in blocked communications lists of various users of the system. If a blocked communications number represented in the ingested blocked communications list is included in at least a threshold number of other blocked communications lists, the system may mark the communications number as spam at a system level and engage in appropriate mitigation techniques (e.g., throttle the phone numbers activity, disable the phone number's ability to communicate with system devices, etc.).
