TL;DR: In this paper, a conversational, natural language voice user interface may provide an integrated voice navigation services environment, where the user can speak conversationally, using natural language, to issue queries, commands, or other requests relating to the navigation services provided in the environment.
Abstract: A conversational, natural language voice user interface may provide an integrated voice navigation services environment. The voice user interface may enable a user to make natural language requests relating to various navigation services, and further, may interact with the user in a cooperative, conversational dialogue to resolve the requests. Through dynamic awareness of context, available sources of information, domain knowledge, user behavior and preferences, and external systems and devices, among other things, the voice user interface may provide an integrated environment in which the user can speak conversationally, using natural language, to issue queries, commands, or other requests relating to the navigation services provided in the environment.

TL;DR: In this article, a distributed voice user interface system includes a local device which receives speech input issued from a user, such speech input may specify a command or a request by the user, and the local device performs preliminary processing of the speech input and determines whether it is able to respond to the command or request by itself.
Abstract: A distributed voice user interface system includes a local device which receives speech input issued from a user. Such speech input may specify a command or a request by the user. The local device performs preliminary processing of the speech input and determines whether it is able to respond to the command or request by itself. If not, the local device initiates communication with a remote system for further processing of the speech input.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of a voice user interface in electronic devices such as a Bluetooth headset is described, and a system and methods for improving the interaction between a user and a small electronic device is described.
Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the interaction between a user and a small electronic device such as a Bluetooth headset are described. The use of a voice user interface in electronic devices may be used. In one embodiment, recognition processing limitations of some devices are overcome by employing speech synthesizers and recognizers in series where one electronic device responds to simple audio commands and sends audio requests to a remote device with more significant recognition analysis capability. Embodiments of the present invention may include systems and methods for utilizing speech recognizers and synthesizers in series to provide simple, reliable, and hands-free interfaces with users.
