    Abstract: Techniques for performing entity resolution as part of natural language understanding processing are described. During offline operations, a system may convert text (representing entities known to the system) into audio of various languages. The languages into which the text is converted may depend on the location where the entity is likely to be spoken by users of the system. At runtime, the system processes a user input using text-based entity resolution. If text-based entity resolution fails, the system may identify user speech corresponding to an entity to be resolved, and attempt to phonetically match the user speech to the audio of the known entities. Results of the phonetic entity resolution may then used by downstream components, such as skills.

    Abstract: The recognition of text in an acquired image is improved by using general and type-specific heuristics that can determine the likelihood that a portion of the text is truncated at an edge of an image, frame, or screen. Truncated text can be filtered such that the user is not provided with an option to perform an undesirable task, such as to dial an incorrect number or connect to an incorrect Web address, based on recognizing an incomplete text string. The general and type-specific heuristics can be combined to improve confidence, and the image data can be pre-processed on the device before processing with an optical character recognition (OCR) engine. Multiple frames can be analyzed to attempt to recognize words or characters that might have been truncated in one or more of the frames.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for providing additional information for text in an image. In some implementations, a computing device receives an image including text. Optical character recognition (OCR) is performed on the image to produce recognized text. A word or a phrase is selected from the recognized text for providing additional information. One or more potential meanings of the selected word or phrase are determined. One of the potential meanings is selected based on other text in the image. A source of additional information corresponding to the selected meaning is selected for providing the additional information to a user's device.

    Abstract: A multi-orientation text detection method and associated system is disclosed that utilizes orientation-variant glyph features to determine a text line in an image regardless of an orientation of the text line. Glyph features are determined for each glyph in an image with respect to a neighboring glyph. The glyph features are provided to a learned classifier that outputs a glyph pair score for each neighboring glyph pair. Each glyph pair score indicates a likelihood that the corresponding pair of neighboring glyphs form part of a same text line. The glyph pair scores are used to identify candidate text lines, which are then ranked to select a final set of text lines in the image.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the subject technology provide for determining a region of a first acquired image based at least on a viewing mode and a set of respective positions of graphical elements to decrease the pre-processing time and perceived latency for the first image. One or more regions of text in the first image are detected, and a set of regions of text that overlap with the region of the image is determined and pre-processed. The subject technology may then pre-process an entirety of a subsequent image (e.g., to pick up missing text from the region of the first image). Thus, additional OCR results may be provided to the user by using the subsequent image(s) and merging subsequent results with previous results from the first image.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the subject technology provide for a hybrid OCR approach which combines server and device side processing that can offset disadvantages of performing OCR solely on the server side or the device side. More specifically, the subject technology utilizes image characteristics such as glyph details and image quality measurements to opportunistically schedule OCR processing on the mobile device and/or server. In this regard, text extracted by a “faster” OCR engine (e.g., one with less latency) is displayed to a user, which is then updated by the result of a more accurate OCR engine (e.g., an OCR engine provided by the server). This approach allows factoring in additional parameters such as network latency and user preference for making scheduling decisions. Thus, the subject technology may provide significant gains in terms of reduced latency and increased accuracy by implementing one or more techniques associated with this hybrid OCR approach.

    Abstract: Approaches to enable a computing device, such as a phone or tablet computer, to detect when text contained in an image captured by the camera is sufficiently close to the edge of the screen and to infer whether the text is likely to be cut off by the edge of the screen such that the text contained in the image is incomplete. If the incomplete text corresponds to actionable text associated with a function that can be invoked on the computing device, the computing device may wait until the remaining portion of the actionable text is captured by the camera and made available for processing before invoking the corresponding function on the computing device.
