    Abstract: In some cases, a handheld device that includes a microphone and a scanner may be used for voice-assisted scanning. For example, a user may provide a voice input via the microphone and may activate the scanner to scan an item identifier (e.g., a barcode). The handheld device may communicate voice data and item identifier information to a remote system for voice-assisted scanning. The remote system may perform automatic speech recognition (ASR) operations on the voice data and may perform item identification operations based on the scanned identifier. Natural language understanding (NLU) processing may be improved by combining ASR information with item information obtained based on the scanned identifier. An action may be executed based on the likely user intent.

    Abstract: An audio buffer is used to capture audio in anticipation of a user command to do so. Sensors and processor activity may be monitored, looking for indicia suggesting that the user command may be forthcoming. Upon detecting such indicia, a circular buffer is activated. Audio correction may be applied to the audio stored in the circular buffer. After receiving the user command instructing the device to process or record audio, at least a portion of the audio that was stored in the buffer before the command is combined with audio received after the command. The combined audio may then be processed, transmitted or stored.

    Abstract: Features are disclosed for recognizing inappropriate content in an output. The offensive content may be generated as a result of a speech processing error. A system may identify the inappropriate elements of a generated output and select among different appropriate alternatives. The system may be adjusted based on certain user characteristics. The system may be localized based on language and cultural features. The system may modify the generated output based on characteristics such as the tolerance threshold of known persons in the proximity of the system. The tolerance threshold may further be used to personalize and modify available content. Models used by the system may be further trained using input from a user.

    Abstract: Features are provided for selectively scoring portions of user utterances based at least on articulatory features of the portions. One or more articulatory features of a portion of a user utterance can be determined. Acoustic models or subsets of individual acoustic model components (e.g., Gaussians or Gaussian mixture models) can be selected based on the articulatory features of the portion. The portion can then be scored using a selected acoustic model or subset of acoustic model components. The process may be repeated for the multiple portions of the utterance, and speech recognition results can be generated from the scored portions.
