Natural language tools for precise control and navigation

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to navigate design workspaces, by performing the steps of:

• acquiring, via an audio sensor, a speech input signal of a user;
• detecting, in the speech input signal, an initial lengthened command portion for a lengthened command to move at least a portion of a design object within a design workspace;
• detecting a lengthened command portion in a subsequent input signal of the user;
• in response to detecting the lengthened command portion, executing the lengthened command, wherein executing the lengthened command continues as the user continues to provide the subsequent input signal;
• and
• terminating execution of the lengthened command upon detecting an end of the lengthened command portion.

A system comprising:

• one or more memories storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories that, when executing the instructions, cause the one or more processors to navigate design workspaces, by performing the steps of:
• acquiring, via an audio sensor, a speech input signal of a user;
• detecting, in the speech input signal, an initial lengthened command portion for a lengthened command to move at least a portion of a design object within a design workspace;
• detecting a lengthened command portion in a subsequent input signal of the user;
• in response to detecting the lengthened command portion, executing the lengthened command, wherein executing the lengthened command continues as the user continues to provide the subsequent input signal;
• and
• terminating execution of the lengthened command upon detecting an end of the lengthened command portion.
