Abstract
A speech processing system configured to convey linked content to a user in a voice user interface (VUI) environment is described. The system may create output audio data that includes an audible indicator (e.g., a beep) that indicates to a user linked content. An audible indicator may be located at the beginning and/or end of linked content in the output audio data. The system may also output non-linked content in a first voice while outputting linked content in a second voice. The system may further overlay audio atop the linked portion of the output audio data, with the overlaid audio indicating the linked content to the user. A user may invoke linked content in output audio by speaking the linked content, or a portion thereof, back to the system. The system may then output the linked, additional content to the user.
