A system may receive audio data that represents a wakeword associated with a first speech-processing system and a command associated with a second speech-processing system. Different indications of handing the audio data off to the second speech-processing system may be determined based on a determined amount of interaction with the second speech-processing system. If the amount of interaction is low, a longer, more detailed indication is generated; if the amount of interaction is high, a brief, less detailed indication is generated. A local device may output audio corresponding to the indication before outputting audio generated by the second speech-processing system in response to the command.

Speech-processing system

A device having a voice-based interface activates or 'wakes' when it detects an utterance that includes a wakeword; the device may be installed in a vehicle, such as an automobile. The device may distinguish between different wakewords; a different speech processing system may be associated with each wakeword, and each speech processing engine may have its own speech style and associated applications and functions.

Multiple speech processing system with synthesized speech styles

A system may include first and second speech-processing systems. The first speech-processing system may process received audio data and determine that a command represented therein is associated with a second speech-processing system. The first speech-processing system may send command data to the second speech-processing system and receive response data in return. The first speech-processing system may then process the response data to determine second response data that includes an indication of the second speech-processing system and cause output of audio corresponding to the second response data.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for digital navigation menus with dynamic content placement. Example methods may include determining a first request for a first user interface from a user device, determining a user identifier associated with the first request, and determining user interaction history data using the user identifier. Example methods may include determining a first selectable option for presentation in a first position at the first user interface using the user interaction history, determining a second selectable option for presentation in a second position at the first user interface, generating the first user interface, and sending the first user interface to the user device.

Digital navigation menus with dynamic content placement

Described herein is a system for adapting an output to a user input over a period of time based on how often the user interacts with the system. The system may determine a user's level of familiarity of the system, and may determine to personalize the output to a user request based on his level of familiarity. The user's level of familiarity may be determined by analyzing historical interactions between the user and the system. The level of personalization applied to the output may be determined based on the user's level of familiarity. As user becomes more familiar with the system, the output may be more personalized.

Speech processing output personalization

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for digital navigation menus of swipeable cards with dynamic content. Example methods may include determining a first request from a mobile device for digital content to be presented at a plurality of cards in a digital navigation menu. The plurality of cards may include floating user interface elements that can be swiped in succession. Example methods may include determining a first card of the plurality of cards, and determining a second card of the plurality of cards, the second card having third content on a first side and fourth content on a second side. The third content may include an image-based representation of a first text-based link. Example methods may include sending first data associated with the first card and second data associated with the second card to the mobile device, and causing the first card to be presented at a display.
