Abstract
In one aspect, a device includes a processor, a microphone accessible to the processor, and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to, without receiving a user command to enter voice recognition mode, automatically activate the microphone responsive to a determination based on a proximity signal that a user is proximate to the device.
