The present invention provides a user interface for providing press-to-talk-interaction via utilization of a touch-anywhere-to-speak module on a mobile computing device. Upon receiving an indication of a touch anywhere on the screen of a touch screen interface, the touch-anywhere-to-speak module activates the listening mechanism of a speech recognition module to accept audible user input and displays dynamic visual feedback of a measured sound level of the received audible input. The touch-anywhere-to-speak module may also provide a user a convenient and more accurate speech recognition experience by utilizing and applying the data relative to a context of the touch (e. g. , relative location on the visual interface) in correlation with the spoken audible input.

A map of a destination and its immediate surroundings are displayed at a relatively low level. Symbolic context information is displayed simultaneously, in order to provide a higher-level context for the location. The symbolic context information can include such things as nearby highways, exits, bridges, sports venues or other landmarks and points of interest. The symbolic context information can be displayed, for example, on the perimeter of the map, or on the map in a distinct visual style such as a different color or font or fish-eye view. As the map is updated, (for example if the user zooms in or out), the context information is updated as well. The context information can be interactive, and can display the relationship between the context item and the location being mapped.

A completely hands free exchange of messages, especially in portable devices, is provided through a combination of speech recognition, text-to-speech (TTS), and detection algorithms. An incoming message may be read aloud to a user and the user enabled to respond to the sender with a reply message through audio input upon determining whether the audio interaction mode is proper. Users may also be provided with options for responding in a different communication mode (e.g., a call) or perform other actions. Users may further be enabled to initiate a message exchange using natural language.

Techniques are described herein that are capable of satisfying specified intent(s) based on multimodal request(s). A multimodal request is a request that includes at least one request of a first type and at least one request of a second type that is different from the first type. Example types of request include but are not limited to a speech request, a text command, a tactile command, and a visual command. A determination is made that one or more entities in visual content are selected in accordance with an explicit scoping command from a user. In response, speech understanding functionality is automatically activated, and audio signals are automatically monitored for speech requests from the user to be processed using the speech understanding functionality.
