    Abstract: An electronic device may capture a voice command from a user. The electronic device may store contextual information about the state of the electronic device when the voice command is received. The electronic device may transmit the voice command and the contextual information to computing equipment such as a desktop computer or a remote server. The computing equipment may perform a speech recognition operation on the voice command and may process the contextual information. The computing equipment may respond to the voice command. The computing equipment may also transmit information to the electronic device that allows the electronic device to respond to the voice command.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for motion-based output of audio content are provided. The motion-based output of audio content may include synchronizing a tempo and a phase of audio content being output with a cadence and a phase of a cyclic movement of a user of an electronic device. The motion-based output can be performed by a system-level process such that synchronizations to motion cadence and phase can be provided for local audio content and/or audio content from any of various content streaming sources. The motion-based output can also account for algorithmic and/or transmission latencies, to output beats of the audio content in sync with user footfalls, including in implementations in which wireless headphones or earbuds are used. Tempo and phase matching can also be provided across a delay or interval in which there is no output of audio content, such as during the gap between adjacent songs in a playlist.

    Abstract: Digital signal processing for microphone partial occlusion detection is described. In one embodiment, an electronic system for audio noise processing and for noise reduction, using a plurality of microphones, includes a first noise estimator to process a first audio signal from a first one of the microphones, and generate a first noise estimate. The electronic system also includes a second noise estimator to process the first audio signal, and a second audio signal from a second one of the microphones, in parallel with the first noise estimator, and generate a second noise estimate. A microphone partial occlusion detector determines a low frequency band separation of the first and second audio signals and a high frequency band separation of the first and second audio signals to generate a microphone partial occlusion function that indicates whether one of the microphones is partially occluded.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to a device including a microphone, a filter and a processor. The filter receives an audio signal including ambient noise and a voice of a user of the device from the microphone. At least a portion of ambient noise is filtered from the audio signal. The processor determines a level of the ambient noise in the received audio signal and dynamically adjusts a gain applied to the filtered audio signal based on the level of the ambient noise.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a process for suppressing reverberation begins with a device of a user obtaining a reverberant speech signal from a voice of the user. The device determines a first estimated reverberation component of the reverberant speech signal. The device generates a first de-reverberated output signal with a first reverberation suppression based on the reverberant speech signal and the first estimated reverberation component. Then, the device generates a second improved reverberation component using the first de-reverberated output signal. The device generates a second de-reverberated output signal with a second reverberation suppression based on the reverberant speech signal and the second improved reverberation component.
