Abstract

A computing device includes at least one processor and at least one module, operable by the at least one processor to receive indications of user input comprising a selection of at least one key of a keyboard and at least one other user input, determine, based at least in part on the indications of user input, that the user input collectively indicates a command for execution of at least one operation, and, responsive to determining that the user input collectively indicates the command, determine that the command is alternatively indicated by a particular audio input. The at least one module may be further operable, responsive to determining that the command is alternatively indicated by the particular audio input, to output, for display, a visual representation of the particular audio input, and execute, based at least in part on the command, the at least one operation.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, a plurality of indications of user input comprising a selection of at least one key of a keyboard and at least one other user input;
after receiving the plurality of indications of user input, determining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the plurality of indications of user input, that the selection of the at least one key of the keyboard and the at least one other user input collectively indicate a command for execution of at least one operation;
responsive to determining that the selection of the at least one key and the at least one other user input collectively indicate the command, determining, by the computing device, that the command is alternatively indicated by a particular audio input;
responsive to determining that the command is alternatively indicated by the audio input, outputting, by the computing device and for display, a visual representation of the particular audio input;
and
executing, by the computing device and based at least in part on the command, the at least one operation.
