Abstract

An audio shortcut may involve an audio command being used to represent a sequence of one or more inputs on a client device. When the client device receives the audio command, the client device may automatically perform the sequence of one or more inputs, as if this sequence were entered manually. If a threshold number of client devices share the same or a similar audio shortcut with a server device, the server device may make this audio shortcut available to additional client devices.
