Arranging and/or clearing speech-to-text content without a user providing express instructions

A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device, a first spoken utterance that corresponds to a request for a first application to perform a speech-to-text operation for a user;
• causing, based on the first spoken utterance, textual content to be rendered within a field of a second application,
• wherein the textual content includes natural language content of the first spoken utterance;
• receiving, from the user, a second spoken utterance that corresponds to an additional request for the first application to remove a portion of the textual content from the field of the second application,
• wherein the additional request does not expressly identify the portion of the textual content to be removed;
• determining, in response to the second spoken utterance, an amount of content to remove from the textual content that is rendered within the field of the second application, wherein determining the amount of content to remove from the textual content comprises:
• identifying a length of a first segment of text of the textual content,
• wherein the first segment of text is a first portion of the textual content that was most recently incorporated into the field of the application;
• causing, in response to the second spoken utterance, the amount of content to be removed from the textual content that is rendered within the field of the second application;
• receiving, at the computing device, an additional instance of the second spoken utterance for removing an additional portion of the textual content from the field of the application,
• determining an additional amount of content to remove from the textual content,
• wherein the additional amount of content includes a second segment of the textual content having a length that is longer than the first segment of the textual content;
• and
• causing, in response to the additional instance of the second spoken utterance, the additional amount of content to be removed from the textual content that is rendered within the field of the second application.

• determining, in response to the second spoken utterance, an amount of content to remove from the textual content that is rendered within the field of the second application,
• wherein the amount of content to be removed is based on a vocalization feature exhibited by the user when providing at least a portion of the first spoken utterance, and
• wherein the vocalization feature includes an intonation characteristic embodied in the first spoken utterance;
• and
• causing, in response to the second spoken utterance, the amount of content to be removed from the textual content that is rendered within the field of the second application.
