Abstract
One example provides, on a computing device comprising a display, a method of initiating and conducting voice communication with a contact. The method comprises displaying a user interface on the display, receiving a user input of a position signal for the user interface, and determining that the position signal satisfies a selection condition for a contact based on a location of the position signal on the user interface and a position of a proxy view of the contact on the user interface. The method further comprises, in response to determining that the position signal satisfies the selection condition, selecting the contact for communication, receiving voice input, and responsive to receiving the voice input while the contact is selected for communication, opening a voice communication channel with the contact and sending the voice input to the contact via the voice communication channel.
