Abstract

While executing a game program, a game console determines that a user wishes to issue a voice command through a headset or other audio input/output device connected to the console. The game console switches the communication channel for the audio input/output device from the game program to a voice recognition engine without interrupting the execution of the game program on the console. The voice command is then forwarded from the audio input/output device to the voice recognition engine.
