STRUCTURED DICTATION USING INTELLIGENT AUTOMATED ASSISTANTS

摘要

Systems and processes for structured dictation using intelligent automated assistants are provided. In one example process, a speech input representing a user request can be received. In addition, metadata associated with the speech input can be received. A text string corresponding to the speech input can be determined. The process can determine whether to perform natural language processing on the text string and whether the metadata identifies one or more domains corresponding to the user request. In response to the determination that natural language processing is to be performed on the text string and that the metadata identifies one or more domains corresponding to the user request, natural language processing of the text string can be constrained to the one or more domains. A result can be obtained based on the one or more domains and the result can be outputted from the electronic device.

1. A method for operating a digital assistant, the method comprising:
at an electronic device:
receiving a speech input representing a user request;receiving metadata associated with the speech input;determining a text string corresponding to the speech input;determining, based on the metadata, whether to perform natural language processing on the text string;in response to determining that natural language processing is to be performed on the text string:
determining whether the metadata identifies one or more domains corresponding to the user request;in response to determining that the metadata identifies one or more domains corresponding to the user request:
generating, using the text string and based on the one or more domains, a structured query representing an actionable intent associated with the one or more domains;executing a task flow associated with the structured query;determining whether a result satisfying the user request is obtained from executing the task flow; andin response to determining that a result satisfying the user request is obtained from executing the task flow, outputting data content containing the result.
