TLDR
In this article, an electronic device and method for obtaining a digital speech signal and a control command relating to the signal while obtaining the signal was presented, and for temporally associating the control command with a substantially corresponding time instant in the signal to which the command was directed, where one or more punctuation marks or another, optionally symbolic, elements to be at least logically positioned at a text location corresponding to the communication instant relative to the digital signal.Abstract:
Electronic device and method for obtaining a digital speech signal and a control command relating to thedigital speech signal while obtaining the digital speech signal, and for temporally associating the control command with a substantially corresponding time instant in the digital speech signal towhich the control command was directed, wherein the control command determines one or more punctuation marks or another, optionally symbolic, elements to be at least logically positioned at a text location corresponding to the communication instant relative to the digital speech signal so as to cultivate the speech to text conversion procedure.read more

TL;DR: In this article, an intelligent automated assistant system engages with the user in an integrated, conversational manner using natural language dialog, and invokes external services when appropriate to obtain information or perform various actions.
Patent
Using context information to facilitate processing of commands in a virtual assistant
TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user, which helps to clarify the user's intent and reduce the number of candidate interpretations of user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input.

Electronic Devices with Voice Command and Contextual Data Processing Capabilities
TL;DR: In this paper, an electronic device may capture a voice command from a user and store contextual information about the state of the electronic device when the voice command is received, such as a desktop computer or a remote server.
Patent
Automatically adapting user interfaces for hands-free interaction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for automatically determining whether a digital assistant application has been separately invoked by a user without regard to whether a user has separately invoked the application.
Patent

Multimodal disambiguation of speech recognition
TL;DR: In this article, a speech recognition system combined with one or more alternate input modalities to ensure efficient and accurate text input is presented. But the system achieves less than perfect accuracy due to limited processing power, environmental noise, and/or natural variations in speaking style.
PatentDOI
Distributed voice user interface
TL;DR: In this article, a distributed voice user interface system includes a local device which receives speech input issued from a user, such speech input may specify a command or a request by the user, and the local device performs preliminary processing of the speech input and determines whether it is able to respond to the command or request by itself.

Semantic co-occurrence filtering for speech recognition and signal transcription applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for automatically transcribing an input question from a form convenient for user input into a form suitable for use by a computer is presented, where the question is transduced into a signal that is converted into a sequence of symbols.
Patent
Providing text input using speech data and non-speech data
TL;DR: In this article, a speech input can be converted to text data and the text data can be combined with the non-speech input for presentation to a user by using a user interface.
