Methods, systems and apparatus for associating electronic devices together based on received audio commands are described. Methods for associating an audio-controlled device with a physically separate display screen device such that information responses can then be provided in both audio and graphic formats using the two devices in conjunction with each other are described. The audio-controlled device can receive audio commands that can be analyzed to determine the author, which can then be used to further streamline the association operation.

Audio associating of computing devices

A speech-processing system capable of receiving spoken commands from a public or semi-public voice controlled device and determine a user who spoke the command for purposes of both command execution and output data routing. Identity of the user may be determined by various techniques such as facial identification, voice identification and the like. Identification techniques may be biased in view of users nearby to a voice controlled device. Private data resulting from the spoken command may be routed to a personal device of the user where non-private data may be output by the public voice controlled device.
