Actions on digital document elements from voice

A computer system comprising:

• at least one computer processor;
• and
• computer memory comprising instructions stored thereon that when executed by at least one processor cause at least one processor to perform acts comprising:
• receiving natural language voiced user input into the computer system;
• deriving a set of one or more terms from the voiced user input, the one or more terms specifying a value to be inserted;
• determining that the set of one or more terms corresponds to a digital document in the computer system;
• determining that the set of one or more terms corresponds to at least one computer-executable command, the determination that the set of one or more terms corresponds to the at least one command comprising analyzing the at least a portion of the set of one or more terms using a document-specific natural language translation data structure;
• determining that the set of one or more terms corresponds to an element in the document;
• and
• executing the at least one command on the element in the document, executing the at least one command comprising entering the value into the element.

A computer system comprising:

• at least one computer processor;
• and
• computer memory comprising instructions stored thereon that when executed by at least one processor cause at least one processor to perform acts comprising:
• loading a document-specific voice grammar into the memory in the computer system, the computer system correlating the voice grammar with a digital spreadsheet document in the computer system;
• receiving natural language voiced user input into the computer system via a natural language voice interaction computer component;
• deriving, via the natural language voice interaction computer component, a set of one or more terms from the voiced user input;
• determining that the set of one or more terms corresponds to the digital spreadsheet document in the computer system;
• determining that the set of one or more terms corresponds to at least one computer-executable command, the determination that the set of one or more terms corresponds to the at least one command comprising determining that the set of one or more terms fits at least one of one or more grammatical forms defined by the grammar;
• determining that the set of one or more terms corresponds to a cell in the spreadsheet document;
• and
• executing the at least one command on the cell in the spreadsheet document, executing the at least one command comprising taking one or more actions selected from a group consisting of entering in the cell a value derived from the set of one or more terms, reading from the cell a value requested by the set of one or more terms, and combinations thereof.
