Abstract
Methods and systems are described for recognizing, based on a voice input, a user and/or a voice command. An algorithm is described herein that processes data associated with a voice input. The data may indicate characteristics of the voice such as a gender, an age, or accent associated with the voice and other metadata. For example, the system may process the data and determine the gender of a voice. The determined characteristics may be used as an input into a voice recognition engine to improve the accuracy of identifying the user who spoke the voice input and identifying a voice command associated with the voice input. For example, the determined gender may be used as a parameter to improve the accuracy of an identified user (e.g., the speaker) or command. The algorithm may adjust, based on gender, parameters such as confidence thresholds used to match voices and voice commands.
