539 results about "Spoken language" patented technology

A spoken language is a language produced by articulate sounds, as opposed to a written language. Many languages have no written form and so are only spoken. An oral language or vocal language is a language produced with the vocal tract, as opposed to a sign language, which is produced with the hands and face. The term "spoken language" is sometimes used to mean only vocal languages, especially by linguists, making all three terms synonyms by excluding sign languages. Others refer to sign language as "spoken", especially in contrast to written transcriptions of signs.

Techniques for determining conversational intent

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for enhancing the interaction between users and automated agents, such as digital assistants, by employing Large Language Models (LLMs) to infer the intent of spoken language. The invention involves continuously monitoring ambient audio, converting speech to text, and utilizing LLMs to determine whether spoken language is intended for the automated agent. A structured prompt, including the converted text and specific instructions, is sent to the LLM, which is fine-tuned to process domain-specific prompts. The LLM provides a structured output in a standardized format, indicating the user's intent. The system may involve multiple prompts to perform separate tasks, such as identifying intent and generating additional context-specific data. This approach facilitates a more natural and intuitive user experience by eliminating the need for wake words and allowing seamless conversational interaction with virtual assistants across various platforms and devices.
