Abstract
A method of querying a user to select from a list in a voice-activated command system is provided. The method includes generating command prompt phrases during which the user can select items on the list. The command prompt phrases include an item on the list and an index for another item on the list. In some embodiments, each command prompt phrase also includes a period of silence between item on the list and the index for another item on the list. If a user selecting barge-in is received during a particular command prompt phrase, the corresponding item on the list is selected.
