1. A method comprising:

  • displaying, at a region of a presence-sensitive screen of a computing device, an input field;

    receiving, at the region of the presence-sensitive screen of the computing device, user input comprising one or more gestures to select the input field, wherein the one or more gestures to select the input field comprise motion at the region of the presence-sensitive screen, wherein the one or more gestures comprise positioning at least one input unit at or near the location of the presence-sensitive screen, wherein the input unit is detectable by the presence-sensitive screen only when at or near the location of the presence-sensitive screen;

    in response to receiving the user input, determining, by the computing device, that the input field is selected based on the input unit currently being detected by the presence-sensitive screen;

    in response to determining that the input field is selected, begin receiving, by the computing device, an audio signal;

    in response to determining the input field is no longer selected based on the input unit no longer being detected by the presence-sensitive screen, stop receiving, by the computing device, the audio signal;

    identifying, by the computing device, at least one input value based on the received audio signal; and

    assigning, by the computing device, the at least one input value to the input field.
