Abstract
Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing the content capture experience on computing devices. In an implementation, a combined user input comprises a voice signal and a touch gesture sustained at least partially coincident with the voice signal. An occurrence of the combined user input triggers the identification of an associated content object which may then be associated with a captured version of the voice signal. Such an advance provides users with a new framework for interacting with their devices, applications, and surroundings.
