Implementations for voice assistant on devices

An electronic device corresponding to a first device type, the electronic device comprising:

• one or more processing devices;
• and
• memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processing devices and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
• storing a voice assistant library on the electronic device, the voice assistant library comprising one or more voice-processing modules configured to execute on a plurality of different electronic device types including the first device type corresponding to the electronic device, wherein the one or more voice-processing modules of the voice assistant library are configured to execute on the electronic device and facilitate one or more voice-processing operations that are accessible to software executing or executable on the different electronic device types;
• identifying a remote location for audio content;
• streaming the audio content from the remote location;
• producing, via a speaker of the electronic device, an audible output from the audio content at a first volume level;
• while producing the audible output:
• receiving a user input to the electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises a microphone, and the receiving the user input comprises detecting by the microphone an audio hotword spoken by a user;
• processing the user input using a hotword detection module of the one or more voice-processing modules executing on the electronic device;
• in response to a determination that the user input corresponds to an indication that the user is about to submit verbal input to the electronic device, adjusting the audible output from the first volume level to a second volume level, where the second volume level is less than the first volume level;
• and
• following the adjusting:
• receiving the verbal input from the user;
• and
• processing the verbal input.

One or more non-transitory, processor-readable media having machine-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations at an electronic device corresponding to a first device type, the operations comprising:

• storing a voice assistant library on the electronic device, the voice assistant library comprising one or more voice-processing modules configured to execute on a plurality of different electronic device types including the first device type corresponding to the electronic device, wherein the one or more voice-processing modules of the voice assistant library are configured to execute on the electronic device and facilitate one or more voice-processing operations that are accessible to software executing or executable on the different electronic device types;
• identifying a remote location for audio content;
• streaming the audio content from the remote location;
• producing, via a speaker of the electronic device, an audible output from the audio content at a first volume level;
• while producing the audible output:
• receiving a user input to the electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises a microphone, and the receiving the user input comprises detecting by the microphone an audio hotword spoken by a user;
• processing the user input using a hotword detection module of the one or more voice-processing modules executing on the electronic device;
• in response to a determination that the user input corresponds to an indication that the user is about to submit verbal input to the electronic device, adjusting the audible output from the first volume level to a second volume level, where the second volume level is less than the first volume level;
• and
• following the adjusting:
• receiving the verbal input from the user;
• and
• processing the verbal input.
