Abstract
Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein that relate to user input combined from spatial gestures and voice. A combined user input allows users to interact more fluidly with their surroundings when, for example, taking pictures, recording video, or controlling remote services or devices. In various implementations, one or more components of a computing device identify an occurrence of a combined user input such as a spoken utterance and a spatial gesture made with the device at least partially coincident with the spoken utterance. The one or more components identify a content capture experience associated with the combined user input and invoke the content capture experience on the device.
