Abstract: A method comprises obtaining ear modeling data, wherein the ear modeling data includes a 3D model of an ear canal; applying a shell generation to generate a shell shape based on the ear modeling data, wherein the shell-generation model is a machine learning model and the shell shape is a 3D representation of a shell of an ear-wearable device; applying a set of one or more component-placement models to determine, based on the ear modeling data, a position and orientation of a component of the ear-wearable device, wherein the component-placement models are independent of the shell-generation model and each of the component-placement models is a separate machine learning model; and generating an ear-wearable device model based on the shell shape and the 3D arrangement of the components of the ear-wearable device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a local assistant system responding to voice input using an ear-wearable device. The system detects a wake-up signal and receives a first voice input communicating a first query content. The system includes speech recognition circuitry to determine the first query content, speech generation circuitry, and an input database of locally-handled user inputs. If the first audio input matches one of the locally-handled user inputs, then the system takes a local responsive action. If the first audio input does not match one of the locally-handled user inputs, then the system transmits at least a portion of the first query content over a wireless network to a network resource.

Abstract: A system and method of automatic transcription using a visual display device and an ear-wearable device. The system is configured to process an input audio signal at the display device to identify a first voice signal and a second voice signal from the input audio signal. A representation of the first voice signal and the second voice signal can be displayed on the display device and input can be received comprising the user selecting one of the first voice signal and the second voice signal as a selected voice signal. The system is configured to convert the selected voice signal to text data and display a transcript on the display device. The system can further generate an output signal sound at the first transducer of the ear-wearable device based on the input audio signal.
