Abstract
A speech recognition system interprets both spoken system commands as well as application commands. Users may speak commands to an open microphone of a computing device that may be interpreted by at least two speech recognizers operating simultaneously. The first speech recognizer interprets operating system commands and the second speech recognizer interprets application commands. The system commands may include at least opening and closing an application and the application commands may include at least a game command or navigation within a menu. A reserve word may be used to identify whether the command is for the operation system or application. A user's cadence may also indicate whether the speech is a global command or application command. A speech recognizer may include a natural language software component located in a remote computing device, such as in the so-called cloud.
