1. An electronic device comprising:
- an earpiece;
a speech input system;
a speechless input system; and
a memory storing instructions executable topresent requests to a user via audio output, andreceive user inputs in response to the requests via a first input mode in which user inputs are made via the speech input system, and also receive user inputs in response to the requests via a second input mode in which responses to the requests are made via the speechless input system.

Abstract
Embodiments for interacting with speech input systems are provided. One example provides an electronic device including an earpiece, a speech input system, and a speechless input system. The electronic device further includes instructions executable to present requests to a user via audio outputs, and receive user inputs in response to the requests via a first input mode in which user inputs are made via the speech input system, and also receive user inputs in response to the requests via a second input mode in which responses to the requests are made via the speechless input system.

11. An earpiece configured to communicate with an external device and with a wide area computer network through the external device, the earpiece comprising:
-
a speech input system configured to receive speech inputs; a synthesized speech output system configured to output synthesized speech outputs via the earpiece; a speechless input system comprising two or more modes of receiving non-speech user inputs; and instructions executable to present requests via the synthesized speech output system, receive responses to the requests optionally via the speech input system and via a first mode of the speechless input system, and receive physical hardware control inputs via a second mode of the speechless input subsystem. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A multi-component device, comprising:
-
a host comprising an earpiece communications system, a communications system configured to communicate over a wide area network, a host user input system comprising one or more speechless input modes, and a host storage subsystem holding instructions executable by a host logic subsystem; and an earpiece comprising a host communications system, a synthesized speech output system, an earpiece input system comprising one or more speechless input sensors, and an earpiece storage subsystem holding instructions executable by an earpiece logic subsystem, wherein the instructions on the host and the earpiece are executable to receive physical hardware control inputs at the host input system, and receive speechless inputs for interacting with a personal assistant at the earpiece. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
