Abstract:
A voice-controlled device may receive a voice command uttered by a user, where the voice command may request that the voice-controlled device perform an operation. The voice-controlled device and/or one or more remote computing resources may process an audio signal associated with the voice command to determine text corresponding to the voice command. The resulting user utterance may be associated with a unique identifier, which may be provided to a third party and/or third party application that is to provide information responsive to the user request. The information provided by the third party/third party application may be output to the user based at least partly on the unique identifier, without disclosing user data associated with the user.
