A computing device is described that accepts, a telephone call, from another device, initiated by a caller. Prior to establishing a telephone user interface that receives spoken input from the user and outputs spoken audio from the caller, the computing device executes a call screening service that outputs an audio user interface, to the other device and as part of the telephone call. The audio user interface interrogates the caller for additional information including a purpose of the telephone call, which allows the user to have more context of the telephone call before deciding whether to accept the call or hang up. The computing device outputs a graphical user interface associated with telephone call. The graphical user interface includes an indication of the additional information obtained via the audio user interface that interrogates the caller.

Synchronous communication using voice and text

A method and system is disclosed for speech synthesis of streaming text. At a text-to-speech ('ITS) system, a real-time streaming text string having a starting point and an ending point may be received, and a first sub-string comprising a first portion of the text string received from an initial point to a first trigger point may be accumulated. The initial point is no earlier than the starting point and is prior to the first trigger point, and the first trigger point is no further than the ending point. A punctuation model of the ITS system may be applied to the first sub-string to generate a pre-processed first sub-string comprising the first sub-string with added grammatical punctuation as determined by the punctuation model. TTS synthesis processing may be applied to at least the pre-processed first sub-string to generate first synthesized speech, and audio play out of the first synthesized speech produced.

Method and system for text-to-speech synthesis of streaming text

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving, at a mobile computing device that is associated with a called user, a call from a calling computing device that is associated with a calling user; in response to receiving the call, determining, by the mobile computing device, that data associated with the called user indicates that the called user will not respond to the call; in response to determining that the called user will not respond to the call, inferring, by the mobile computing device, an informational need of the calling user; and automatically providing, from the mobile computing device to the calling computing device, information associated with the called user and that satisfies the inferred informational need of the calling user.

Automatically performing actions by a mobile computing device

Aspects of the technology described herein provide a mechanism for controlling access to secure computing resources based on inferred user authentication. A current user may be authenticated and access to secure computing resources permitted based on a determined probability that the current user is a legitimate user associated with the secure computing resource. Legitimacy of the current user may be inferred based on a comparison of user-related activity of the current user to a persona model, which may comprise behavior patterns, rules, or other information for identifying a legitimate user. If it is determined that the current user is likely legitimate, then access to secure information may be permitted. However, if it is determined that the current user is likely illegitimate, than a verification procedure may be provided to the current user, such as a temporal, dynamic security challenge based on recent activity conducted by the legitimate user.

Personalized inferred authentication for virtual assistance

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for deploying an application according to a data access profile used to sandbox the application. For example, an event planner app may be identified for download from an app store. A deployment mock data configuration interface may be presented to a user prior to or as a preliminary operation of downloading and/or installing the event planner app. A data access profile, specifying that the event planner app has access to user age data, but is blocked from accessing user phone number data, for example, may be received through the deployment mock data configuration interface. The event planner app may thus be deployed in a sandbox mode on the device based upon the data access profile (e.g., real age data may be provided to the event planner app whereas mock phone number data may be provided to the event planner app).
