Audio message extraction

A system, comprising:

• at least one device processor;
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one device processor, cause the system to:
• receive audio input data corresponding to an utterance received by a voice communications device, the audio input data received in response to detection of a wakeword;
• determine at least one messaging action, of a plurality of performable actions, represented by the audio input data;
• determine, based at least in part on the messaging action, a recipient identifier, the recipient identifier determined with at least a minimum level of confidence;
• determine a beginning of a message payload, the message payload being an excerpt from the audio input data;
• and
• generate audio message data to be accessible according to the recipient identifier, the audio message data including the message payload and excluding at least a portion of the audio input data.

A communication management system, comprising:

• at least one device processor;
• a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one device processor, enable the system to:
• receive, by a microphone, audio input data;
• generate text data by performing automated speech recognition (ASR) on the audio input data;
• determine at least one messaging action, of a plurality of performable actions, by performing natural language processing (NLP) on the text data, the NLP applying at least one contextual rule;
• determine a slot pattern corresponding to the messaging action, the slot pattern including a target slot and a message payload slot;
• identify, based at least in part upon the target slot, a recipient identifier, the recipient identifier identified with at least a minimum level of confidence;
• determine data associated with the message payload slot;
• generate, based upon the data associated with the message payload slot, audio message data associated with a portion of the audio input data;
• and
• send the audio message data for playback on an audio playback device associated with the recipient identifier.
