ADAPTING TIMEOUT VALUES BASED ON INPUT SCOPES

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for adapting timeout values based on varying input scopes associated with text boxes. An indication that dictation has been initiated in association with a text box is received. An input scope associated with the text box is identified, for instance, by identifying a tag associated with the text box that defines an input scope associated therewith. A timeout value associated with the identified input scope is identified and applied to the dictation such that the microphone automatically deactivates (i.e., without affirmative user interaction) following an amount of time associated with the timeout value in which no speech is detected. Longer timeout values may be associated with user activities that result in lengthy, thought-out segments of text (e.g., word processing document composition) than are associated with user activities that result in short and/or command-oriented segments of text (e.g., search query composition).

主权项

1. A method being performed by one or more computing devices including at least one processor, the method for adapting timeout values based on varying input scopes associated with text boxes, the method comprising:
receiving an indication that dictation has been initiated in association with a text box; identifying an input scope associated with the text box; and adapting a timeout value for receipt of the dictation based upon the determined input scope.
