1. A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device, a spoken utterance that is directed to a first application from a user,
wherein the spoken utterance corresponds to a request for the first application to perform a speech-to-text operation for incorporating text into a field of a second application;
generating, based on the spoken utterance, textual content data that characterizes textual content to be incorporated into the field of the second application, wherein the second application is different from the first application;
generating, based on an intent associated with the spoken utterance, content arrangement data that characterizes an arrangement, within the field of the second application, of a first portion of the textual content relative to a second portion of the textual content;
causing, based on the textual content data and the content arrangement data, the textual content to be incorporated into the field of the second application according to the arrangement, in response to the spoken utterance;
receiving, at the computing device, an additional spoken utterance that is directed to the first application from the user,
wherein the additional spoken utterance corresponds to an additional request for the first application to perform an additional speech-to-text operation for incorporating additional textual content into the field of the second application; and
causing, in response to the additional spoken utterance, the second application to incorporate the additional textual content into the field of the second application; and
causing, in response to the additional spoken utterance, the second application to perform one or more formatting operations that modify arrangement of the additional textual content relative to the textual content within the field,
wherein the one or more formatting operations are not expressly identified by the user via the additional spoken utterance.
