Abstract
Architectures and techniques for selecting a voice-enabled device to handle audio input that is detected by multiple voice-enabled devices are described herein. In some instances, multiple voice-enabled devices may detect audio input from a user at substantially the same time, due to the voice-enabled devices being located within proximity to the user. The architectures and techniques may analyze a variety of audio signal metric values for the voice-enabled devices to designate a voice-enabled device to handle the audio input.
