    Abstract: Eine elektronische Vorrichtung kann einen latenzfreien digitalen Assistenten implementieren, durch Erfassen einer Audioeingabe von einem Mikrofon und Verwenden eines ersten Prozessors zum Schreiben von Audiodaten, welche die erfasste Audioeingabe darstellenden, in einen Speicherpuffer. In Antwort auf das Erfassen einer Benutzereingabe während dem Erfassen der Audioeingabe kann die Vorrichtung bestimmen, ob die Benutzereingabe ein vorbestimmtes Kriterium erfüllt. Wenn die Benutzereingabe das Kriterium erfüllt, kann die Vorrichtung einen zweiten Prozessor verwenden und eine Aufgabe basierend auf wenigstens einem Teil der Inhalte des Speicherpuffers identifizieren und ausführen.

    Abstract: An electronic device can implement a zero-latency digital assistant by capturing audio input from a microphone and using a first processor to write audio data representing the captured audio input to a memory buffer. In response to detecting a user input while capturing the audio input, the device can determine whether the user input meets a predetermined criteria. If the user input meets the criteria, the device can use a second processor to identify and execute a task based on at least a portion of the contents of the memory buffer.

    Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for dynamically adjusting a speech trigger threshold, which can be used in triggering a virtual assistant. Audio input can be received via a microphone. The received audio input can be sampled, and a confidence level can be determined of whether the sampled audio input includes a portion of a spoken trigger. In response to the confidence level exceeding a threshold, a virtual assistant can be triggered to receive a user command from the audio input. The threshold can be dynamically adjusted in response to perceived events (e.g., events indicating a user may be more or less likely to initiate speech interactions, events indicating a trigger may be difficult to detect, events indicating a trigger was missed, etc.), thereby minimizing both missed triggers and false positive triggering events.
