Systems and methods are disclosed herein for resolving a meaning of an ambiguous calendar entry and recommending broadcast media based on the meaning. To this end, a media guidance application may detect a calendar entry specific to a user, and determine that the calendar entry is ambiguous with respect to an associated period of time. In response to determining that the calendar entry is ambiguous with respect to the associated period of time, the media guidance application may determine characteristics of the calendar entry and the user, and compute an estimated range of time corresponding to the calendar entry based on the characteristic of the calendar entry and the characteristic of the user. The media guidance application may then generate for display a recommendation of broadcast media based on the estimated range of time.

Systems and methods for filtering of media data based on to-do list

Systems and methods are described herein for inserting contextual advertisements into a virtual environment. While presenting a virtual environment, a media device receives speech input. The media device selects an advertisement from an advertisement database based on the speech. The media device then determines the current environment of the virtual environment and generates a virtual object that is related to the current environment. The media device overlays the selected advertisement over the generated virtual object and displays the generated virtual object in the virtual environment.

Systems and methods are described herein for replaying content dialogue in an alternate language in response to a user command. While the content is playing on a media device, a first language in which the content dialogue is spoken is identified. Upon receiving a voice command to repeat a portion of the dialogue, the language in which the command was spoken is identified. The portion of the content dialogue to repeat is identified and translated from the first language to the second language. The translated portion of the content dialogue is then output. In this way, the user can simply ask in their native language for the dialogue to be repeated and the repeated portion of the dialogue is presented in the user's native language.

Methods and systems for control of content in an alternate language or accent

Automated content generation and delivery may include processing a request for story synthesis using specified content items. The request may, for example, be captured using a microphone of an electronic device and transmitted to a server device. The specified content items may be mapped to a story template. Based on the story template, other content items related to the specified content items may be retrieved from one or more content sources. The content sources may, for example, refer to websites, social media platforms, search engine results, or other data stores. A story may then be synthesized using the specified content items and the other content items, for example, by combining the specified content items and the other content items according to the story template. The synthesized story may then be output, for example, at the electronic device.

Systems and methods for replaying content dialogue in an alternate language

Methods and systems are discussed herein for a media guidance application that aggregates content of multiple types and from multiple sources. Furthermore, the media guidance application may create a personalized presentation of this content. In such cases, the media guidance application may create a playlist in which the media assets selected for the playlist, in addition to being selected from multiple sources and/or types, are selected based on the current whereabouts of the user.
