Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to allow an information handling system user to selectively activate and interact with a speech recognition service for system control during application runtime on the same system, and without interrupting the separate application on the same information handling system. The activated speech recognition service may respond to verbal commands to control one or more operating characteristics of the information handling system while the separate application (e.g., such as a computer game) is simultaneously executing without interruption on the same system. A user may be allowed to activate the speech recognition service using one or more different activation modes, e.g., using eye tracking, call word recognition, and/or hardware input/output actuation.
