Customizing a voice-based interface using surrounding factors

A system having one or more computer processors, the system configured to:

• gather audio inputs surrounding an assistive device;
• analyze, by the assistive device, the audio inputs;
• determine, based on the analyzing, scenario cues, wherein determining the scenario cues comprises:
• determining whether the audio inputs include known voices and unknown voices;
• assign weights to each scenario cue to indicate their importance;
• classify a current environment surrounding the assistive device from the scenario cues and the assigned weights;
• compare the current environment to device profiles of the assistive device;
• determine, based on the comparing, a matching profile, the matching profile including privacy settings, wherein the matching profile is determined based on whether the audio inputs include the known voices or the unknown voices and based on the assigned weights of each scenario cue;
• and
• in response to determining the matching profile, execute the matching profile on the assistive device.
