Abstract
For a mobile computing device, enhanced functionality may be provided by associating actions with combined speech and touch gestures. A touch gesture is received into the device and simultaneously or near-simultaneously speech is received into the device. The touch gesture and speech are processed to determine a result and the device performs an action based on the result. In particular embodiments, commands for a mapping application may be based on spoken search terms and geographic areas marked by touch gestures.
