Aspects of the present disclosure relate to ignoring trigger words of a buffered media stream. A buffered media stream of media content is accessed in advance of the playing the media stream. One or more trigger words in the media content of the buffered media stream are identified. A time stamp is generated for each of the one or more identified trigger words in relation to a play time of the media content of the buffered media stream. A voice command device is instructed to ignore audio content of the buffered media stream based on the time stamp for each of the one or more identified trigger words while the buffered media stream is played.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to distinguishing voice commands. One or more stored blocked directions of background voice noise from one or more audio output devices for a location of a voice command device are accessed. A voice input is received at the voice command device at the location and a determination is made that the voice input is received from a blocked direction. A status of an audio output device is queried to determine whether it is emitting audio. In response to a determination that the audio output device is currently emitting audio, an audio file is obtained from the audio output device, the audio file corresponding to a time when the voice input was received. The obtained audio file is compared with the received voice input. The received voice input is ignored if there is a substantial match with the obtained audio file.

A method of checking a link in a body of text comprises receiving the text and detecting a link to an external source within the received text. At least a portion of the received text is selected for analysis and one or more important keywords within the selected portion of the received text are determined. Text is obtained from the external source by accessing the link. At least a portion of the obtained text is selected for analysis and one or more important keywords within the selected portion of the obtained text are determined. The more important keywords within the selected portion of the original received text are compared with the important keywords within the selected portion of the obtained text from the link, and an output is provided depending upon the result of the comparison of the one or more important keywords within the selected portion of the received text with the one or more important keywords within the selected portion of the obtained text.
