1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile computing device that is operating in a sleep mode, sounds corresponding to a beginning portion of a predetermined hotword that is associated with waking the mobile computing device to an awake mode; and
before receiving sounds corresponding to a remaining portion of the predetermined hotword that is associated with waking the mobile computing device to an awake mode, initiating, by the mobile computing device, processing to begin waking the mobile computing device to the awake mode without initiating processing to complete waking the mobile computing device to the awake mode.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, receiving audio data; determining that an initial portion of the audio data corresponds to an initial portion of a hotword; in response to determining that the initial portion of the audio data corresponds to the initial portion of the hotword, selecting, from among a set of one or more actions that are performed when the entire hotword is detected, a subset of the one or more actions; and causing one or more actions of the subset to be performed.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing instructions executable by one or more computers which, upon such execution, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, by a mobile computing device that is operating in a sleep mode, sounds corresponding to a beginning portion of a predetermined hotword that is associated with waking the mobile computing device to an awake mode; and before receiving sounds corresponding to a remaining portion of the predetermined hotword that is associated with waking the mobile computing device to an awake mode, initiating, by the mobile computing device, processing to begin waking the mobile computing device to the awake mode without initiating processing to complete waking the mobile computing device to the awake mode. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
