Abstract: Methods and systems for providing message playback using a shared electronic device is described herein. In response to receiving a request to output messages, a speech-processing system may determine a group account associated with a requesting device, and may determine messages stored by a message data store for the group account. Speaker identification processing may also be performed to determine a speaker of the request. A user account associated with the speaker, and messages stored for the user account, may be determined. A summary response indicating the user account's messages and the group account's message may then be generated such that the user account messages are identified prior to the group account's messages. The messages may then be analyzed to determine an appropriate voice user interface for the requester such that the playback of the messages using a shared electronic device is more natural and conversational.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for outputting visual indications regarding voice-based interactions are described. A first speech-controlled device detects spoken audio corresponding to a voice message to a second speech-controlled device. The first device captures the audio and sends audio data corresponding to the captured audio to a server. The server performs speech processing on the audio data to determine a recipient and message content. The server then determines a second speech-controlled device associated with the recipient and sends the message content to the recipient's second speech-controlled device. Thereafter, the server receives an indication from the recipient's speech-controlled device that the second device is detecting speech, presumably in response to the original message. The server then causes a visual indication to be output by the first speech-controlled device, with the visual indication representing the recipient-speech controlled device is detecting speech.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for escalating voice-based interactions via speech-controlled devices are described. Speech-controlled devices capture audio, including wakeword portions and payload portions, for sending to a server to relay messages between speech-controlled devices. In response to determining the occurrence of an escalation event, such as repeated messages between the same two devices, the system may automatically change a mode of a speech-controlled device, such as no longer requiring a wakeword, no longer requiring an indication of a desired recipient, or automatically connecting two speech-controlled devices in a voice-chat mode. In response to determining the occurrence of further escalation events, the system may initiate a real-time call between the speech-controlled devices.

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: Techniques for enabling a system to verify operations or transactions as being associated with a user account are described. A system receives message data associated with an unverified operation or an unverified transaction. The system generates first audio data that includes a representation of a first digital signature based on at least a first verification code. The system sends a message including second message data with an ability to output the first audio data responsive to first device playing the first audio data within earshot of the second device. The system receives, from a second device, second audio data that represents the first audio data. The system determines that the second audio data includes an audio representation of a second digital signature based on at least the first verification code. The system verifies the unverified operation and associates the operation with the user account to indicate that the operation is a verified operation.

Abstract: Techniques for enabling a system to verify that contact data are to be added to a user account are described. A system receives message data. The system generates first audio data that includes a representation of a verification code. The system sends a message comprising the audio data to a first device. The system receives, from a second device, second audio data that represents the first audio data. The system confirms that the second audio data included a representation of the verification code, and then verifies that the contact data is to be added to the user account.

Abstract: Methods and systems for prioritizing messages for playback are described herein. In some embodiments, a request for messages to be output may be received by a speech-processing system. The speech-processing system may include a message database that includes messages received for a speaker of the request's user account and/or a group account associated with a shared electronic device that the request was received from. One or more prioritization rules may be applied to the messages to order the messages for playback in order to provide an optimal voice user interface for the requesting individual. For instance, messages received for the user account may be prioritized over messages received for the group account, messages received from a similar sender or a high priority sender may be prioritized over other messages, and messages that are indicating as being urgent may be prioritized over messages that are indicated as being non-urgent.

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, non-speech may be detected for both the first device and the second device. If the non-speech associated with the first device is determined to occur at a substantially same time as the non-speech associated with the second device, then this may indicate that no individuals are talking within earshot of their respective devices. Furthermore, the non-speech detected by the first device and the non-speech detected by the second device may both be of an amount of time that is greater than a predefined temporal threshold. If so, then the communications session may be caused to end because speech activity has not been detected by either device for more than the predefined temporal threshold.
