1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- outputting, by a computing device, a prompt that requests user selection of an action to be performed by the computing device;
while outputting the prompt,monitoring, by the computing device, typed input entered using a keyboard to determine whether the typed input is responsive to the prompt, andmonitoring, by the computing device, hands-free input entered using a camera or a microphone to determine whether the hands-free input is responsive to the prompt; and
determining that one of the typed input entered using the keyboard and the hands-free input entered using the camera or the microphone is responsive to the prompt, and in response;
performing, by the computing device, a particular action indicated by the one of the typed input and the hands-free input that is determined to be responsive to the prompt, andceasing to output the prompt.

Abstract
A method includes receiving a first input through a hands-based input device. A prompt is then output, and input responsive to the prompt may be received through either of a hands-based input device or a hands-free input device. Responsive to receiving a second input through a hands-free input device, a determination that the second input is responsive to the prompt may be made, an operation based on the second input may be performed, and cessation of the output of the prompt may occur.

14. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of operations comprising:
-
outputting, by a computing device, a prompt that requests user selection of an action to be performed by the computing device; while outputting the prompt, monitoring, by the computing device, typed input entered using a keyboard to determine whether the typed input is responsive to the prompt, and monitoring, by the computing device, hands-free input entered using a camera or a microphone to determine whether the hands-free input is responsive to the prompt; and determining that one of the typed input entered using the keyboard and the hands-free input entered using the camera or the microphone is responsive to the prompt, and in response; performing, by the computing device, a particular action indicated by the one of the typed input and the hands-free input that is determined to be responsive to the prompt, and ceasing to output the prompt. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
