Techniques performed by a data processing system for a machine learning driven teleprompter include displaying a teleprompter transcript associated with a presentation on a display of a computing device associated with a presenter; receiving audio content of the presentation including speech of the presenter in which the presenter is reading the teleprompter transcript; analyzing the audio content of the presentation using a first machine learning model to obtain a real-time textual translation of the audio content, the first machine learning model being a natural language processing model trained to receive audio content including speech and to translate the audio content into a textual representation of the speech; analyzing the real-time textual representation and the teleprompter transcript with a second machine learning model to obtain transcript position information; and automatically scrolling the teleprompter transcript on the display of the computing device based on the transcript position information.

A file access request is received from an application. One or more file types for the file access request are identified, and one or more file hosts supporting files of the identified one or more file types are also identified. A user interface is displayed, the user interface including a hosted area. Within the hosted area, at least one of the one or more file hosts displays a portion of the user interface identifying one or more files of at least one file host that can be selected for retrieval, or one or more locations that can be selected to which the one or more files are saved.

File access with different file hosts

A three-dimensional model can be presented in a two-dimensional digital canvas on a computer display. User input directed at the three-dimensional model in the two-dimensional canvas can be received. The three-dimensional model can be manipulated in response to the user input. A two-dimensional view of the three-dimensional model can be displayed. Corresponding data structures for the model, the canvas, and the two-dimensional objects in the data structure can be maintained and updated. One or more additional techniques can also be utilized in a computer system, such as continuous user-controlled model rotation in a two-dimensional canvas; viewport autofit and non-autofit modes; rotating the model around a camera look-at point; ghosting outside the viewport; normalizing modeling units and values; preset buttons with on-button previews; user-defined view presets; and/or two-dimensional image substitution.

In a non-limiting example of the present disclosure, an exemplary table of contents slide may be displayed for a slide deck of a presentation program. The table of contents slide may comprise one or more sections of grouped slides for the slide deck. A selection of a section link may be received. The section link links the table of contents slide to a section of grouped slides. An exemplary presentation program may navigate the slide deck to a first slide of the section based on the received selection. When the navigation of the section is completed, the presentation program returns the slide deck to one of: the table of contents slide and the first slide of the section. Other examples described relate to creation and rendering of an exemplary table of contents slide and/or section links within an exemplary table of contents slide of a presentation program.

An animation preset graphical user interface (GUI) enables users to select a 3D model of an object and to further select between multiple animation presets that each individually cause a 3D animation engine to apply combinations of animation features against the 3D model. An exemplary animation preset may cause the object to translate across a display area (e.g., move from left to right across screen) while simultaneously rotating against a rotational axis (e.g., spinning so that different surfaces of the object become more prominent). The animation preset GUI may enable the user to dynamically toggle through different intensity levels to cause a selected animation preset to be rendered in accordance with different acceleration parameters and/or magnitude parameters. The animation preset GUI may enable the user to dynamically toggle between predefined animation spaces for animating the object. Animation-parameters may be persisted to a file to enable future editing of the animations.

A system level search user interface that includes both a data entry portion and a search identification portion is displayed. Data input by a user as a search term is displayed in the data entry portion, and identifiers of each of one or more scopes on the computing device that can be searched using the search term are displayed in the search identification portion. Search results based on a selected scope are displayed in a search results portion of the system level search user interface. A set of keyboard shortcuts allow users to quickly search using any of the scopes, and see previews of a number of results that each of the scopes return. Additionally, the system level search user interface allow users to easily focus on different search result entries, and efficiently change scopes for searching.

Facilitating interaction with system level search user interface

A method to expose status information is provided. The status information is associated with metadata extracted from multimedia files and stored in a metadata database. The metadata information that is extracted from the multimedia files is stored in a read queue to allow a background thread to process the metadata and populate the metadata database. Additionally, the metadata database may be updated to include user-define metadata, which is written back to the multimedia files. The user-defined metadata is included in a write queue and is written to the multimedia files associated with the user-defined metadata. The status of the read and write queues are exposed to a user through a graphical user interface. The status may include the list of multimedia files included in the read and write queues, the priorities of each multimedia file, and the number of remaining multimedia files.

A system level search user interface that includes both a data entry portion and an application identification portion is displayed. User data input as a search term is displayed in the data entry portion, and identifiers of each of one or more applications of multiple applications on the computing device that can be searched using the search term are displayed in the application identification portion. The search term is provided to one application of the multiple applications for that one application to generate and display search results based on the search term while the display of at least the data entry portion of the system level search user interface is maintained.

System level search user interface

File management user interface techniques are described. In one or more implementations, properties of a file are displayed in a user interface by a computing device. In response to selection of a particular one of the properties in the user interface, one or more representations of one or more other files that include a corresponding value of the particular property are displayed, respectively, of the file.

The presentation of headers for groups of locations in a library comprising a collection of locations is disclosed. One disclosed embodiment comprises receiving a request to organize a library into groups according to a selected property, and organizing the locations into groups such that locations within a selected group have a common value of the selected property. If the common value of the selected property for the selected group corresponds to an object distinct from the locations in the group, then a first type of group header configured to accept a first set of user inputs associated with the header is displayed. Otherwise, a second type of group header configured to accept a second, different set of user inputs is displayed.
