1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a portable computing device, a spoken query from a user of the portable computing device;
determining that the spoken query is classified as a television-related query;
submitting, by the portable computing device to a remote server system, a digital recording of the spoken query and data indicating that the spoken query is classified as a television-related query;
receiving, at the portable computing device from the remote server system, a transcription of the spoken query; and
automatically transmitting the transcription of the spoken query from the portable computing device to a television system,wherein the television system is programmed to modify the transcription of the spoken query received from the remote server system via the portable computing device, to submit the modified transcription of the spoken query received from the remote server system via the portable computing device as a search query to a remote search engine, and to display to the user media-related results that are determined to be responsive to the search query.
