Abstract
In one example, a device captures a segment of audio played out over an audio source in response to a control signal from a user interface of the device. The device causes any speech of the captured segment to be converted into a text segment using a local or remote speech-to-text component. The device causes the text segment to be provided to a remote network device for analysis. In response to the providing, the device receives back a tag that identifies an electronic media object. The electronic media object may correspond to, for example, an electronic book, and the device may use the tag to purchase and download the book. The device may be configured to convert text of the downloaded electronic book to synthesized speech, and then cause the synthesized speech to be played out over a local or remote speaker.
