Techniques for neuromuscular-signal-based detection of in-air hand gestures for text production and modification, and systems, wearable devices, and methods for using these techniques

Abstract

The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for producing and modifying text using neuromuscular-signal-sensing devices. In one aspect, a method includes causing the display of a plurality of text terms input by a user. Using data from one or more neuromuscular-signal sensors in communication with the wearable device, an in-air hand gesture performed by the user is detected while the text terms are displayed. In response to the in-air hand gesture, a text-modification mode is enabled that allows for modifying the text terms input by the user. A target term is identified and, while the text-modification mode is enabled, data about a voice input provided by the user for modifying the target term is received. The method further includes causing a modification to the target term in accordance with the voice input from the user.
