More Information
Summary:Systems, methods, and computer storage media are provided for initiating a system-wide voice-to-text dictation service in response to a preconfigured gesture. Data input fields, independent of the application from which they are presented to a user, are configured to at least detect one or more input events. A gesture listener process, controlled by the system, is configured to detect a preconfigured gesture corresponding to a data input field. Detection of the preconfigured gesture generates an input event configured to invoke a voice-to-text session for the corresponding data input field. The preconfigured gesture can be configured such that any visible on-screen affordances (e.g., microphone button on a virtual keyboard) are omitted to maintain aesthetic purity and further provide system-wide access to the dictation service. As such, dictation services are generally available for any data input field across the entire operating system without requiring on-screen affordances to initiate the service. 提供了用于响应
