SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISAMBIGUATING A VOICE SEARCH QUERY

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240428795 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISAMBIGUATING A VOICE SEARCH QUERY

Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods are described herein for disambiguating a voice search query that contains a command keyword by determining whether the user spoke a quotation from a content item and whether the user mimicked or approximated the way the quotation is spoken in the content item. the voice search query is transcribed into a string, and an audio signature of the voice search query is identified. metadata of a quotation matching the string is retrieved from a database that includes audio signature information for the string as spoken within the content item. the audio signature of the voice search query is compared with the audio signature information in the metadata to determine whether the audio signature matches the audio signature information in the quotation metadata. if a match is detected, then a search result comprising an identifier of the content item from which the quotation comes is generated.
