1. A method of performing tasks using interactive audio comprising:

  • executing a task using an audio interactive interface on a mobile system, wherein said mobile system is a vehicle;

    detecting one or more task boundaries in the task;

    receiving an interrupt during task execution, wherein the interrupt comprises vehicle state information;

    storing task state information, wherein the storing comprises storing information corresponding to one or more partially completed steps of the task if the interrupt does not occur at a task boundary;

    receiving an indication that task execution is to be resumed;

    loading the stored task state information;

    generating one or more audio confirmations specifying one or more completed portions of the task,wherein the audio confirmations are selected based on particular task boundaries proximate to a point in task execution when the interrupt is received;

    generating a first audio confirmation if the interrupt occurs at a first task boundary;

    generating a second audio confirmation if the interrupt occurs at a second task boundary; and

    generating a third audio confirmation if the interrupt occurs between the first task boundary and the second task boundary.
