Abstract:
A method of providing hands-free services using a mobile device having wireless access to computer-based services includes carrying out a completed speech session via a mobile device without any physical interaction with the mobile device, wherein the speech session includes receiving a speech input from a user, and obtaining from a cloud service a service result responsive to the speech input, and providing the service result as a speech response presented to the user.

Abstract:
A method of providing hands-free services using a mobile device having wireless access to computer-based services includes establishing a short range wireless connection between a mobile device and one or more audio devices that include at least a microphone and speaker; receiving at the mobile device speech inputted via the microphone from a user and sent via the short range wireless connection; wirelessly transmitting the speech input from the mobile device to a speech recognition server that provides automated speech recognition (ASR); receiving at the mobile device a speech recognition result representing the content of the speech input; determining a desired service by processing the speech recognition result using a first, service-identifying grammar; determining a user service request by processing at least some of the speech recognition result using a second, service-specific grammar associated with the desired service; initiating the user service request and receiving a service response; generating an audio message from the service response; and presenting the audio message to the user via the speaker.
Abstract:
A mobile voice platform for providing a user speech interface to computer-based services includes a mobile device having a processor, communication circuitry that provides access to the computer-based services, an operating system, and one or more applications that are run using the operating system and that utilize one or more of the computer-based services via the communication circuitry. The mobile voice platform includes at least one non-transient digital storage medium storing a program module having computer instructions that, upon execution by the processor, receives speech recognition results representing user speech that has been processed using automated speech recognition, determines a desired computer-based service based on the speech recognition results, accesses a remotely-stored service interface associated with the desired service, initiates the desired service using the service interface, receives a service result from the desired service, and provides a text-based service response for conversion to a speech response to be provided to the user.

Abstract:
A mobile voice platform providing a user speech interface to computer-based services uses a device having a processor, communication circuitry, an operating system, and applications that are run using the operating system and that utilize the computer-based services via the communication circuitry. The mobile voice platform includes a non-transient digital storage medium storing first and second program modules. Upon execution by the processor the first program module receives speech recognition results, determines a desired service based on the speech recognition results, and provides at least some of the speech recognition results to the second program module. The second program module, when executed, generates a service request based on the speech recognition results provided from the first program module, provides the service request to one or more of the computer-based services, obtains a service result from the computer-based service(s), and supplies the first program module with a response.
