Abstract
A spoken utterance includes at least a first level of a multi-level command format, in which the first level identifies an application. The spoken utterance may also include a second level of the multi-level command format, in which the second level identifies an action. In response to receiving the spoken utterance at a computing device, a representation of the application identified by the first level is displayed on a display of the computing device. If the spoken utterance includes the second level of the multi-level command format, the action identified by the second level is initiated. If the spoken utterance does not include the second level of the multi-level command format, the computing device waits for a predetermined period of time and provides at least one of an audible or visual action prompt if the second level is not received within the predetermined period of time.
