Notifying a user to improve voice quality

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at a microphone of an electronic device, audio input from a user;

detecting, using a processor, at least one factor that negatively impacts quality of the audio input received at the microphone; and

notifying, using at least one output device of the electronic device, the user how to improve the quality of a subsequent audio input, wherein the at least one output device is a haptic device located substantially next to the microphone;

wherein the notifying comprises emitting a vibration from the haptic device responsive to detecting the at least one factor and thereafter decreasing a magnitude of the vibration responsive to detecting that the at least one factor is minimized.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting comprises detecting data selected from the group consisting of: data from a proximity sensor, data from the microphone, and data from a device orientation sensor.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the proximity sensor is located adjacent to the microphone.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one factor is selected from the group consisting of: data from a predetermined proximity sensor, a physical block of the microphone, a predetermined orientation of the electronic device, and a predetermined distance between the user and the electronic device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the notifying comprises instructing the user to adjust a holding orientation of the electronic device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing a baseline audio input value.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the baseline audio input value is established through a dedicated training phase.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising comparing the baseline audio input value to a current audio input value; and

wherein the notifying comprises prompting the user when the current audio input value is less than the baseline audio input value.

9. An electronic device, comprising:

at least one output device;

a microphone;

a processor operatively coupled to the microphone and the output device;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

receive, at the microphone, audio input from a user;

detect at least one factor that negatively impacts quality of the audio input received at the microphone; and

notify, using the at least one output device, the user how to improve the quality of a subsequent audio input, wherein the at least one output device is a haptic device located substantially next to the microphone;

wherein the notifying comprises emitting a vibration from the haptic device responsive to detecting the at least one factor and thereafter decreasing a magnitude of the vibration responsive to detecting that the at least one factor is minimized.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , further comprising a proximity sensor and a device orientation sensor;

wherein to detect comprises detecting data selected from the group consisting of: data from the proximity sensor, data from the microphone, and data from the device orientation sensor.

11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the proximity sensor is located adjacent to the microphone.

12. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one factor is selected from the group consisting of: data from a predetermined proximity sensor, a physical block of the microphone, a predetermined orientation of the electronic device, and a predetermined distance between the user and the electronic device.

13. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein to notify comprises instructing the user to adjust a holding orientation of the electronic device.

14. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to establish a baseline audio input value.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to compare the baseline audio input value to a current audio input value; and

wherein to notify comprises prompting the user when the current audio input value is less than the baseline audio input value.

16. A product, comprising:

a non-signal storage device that stores code executable by a processor, the code comprising:

code that receives audio input from a user at a microphone;

code that detects at least one factor that negatively impacts quality of the audio input received at the microphone; and

code that notifies, using a haptic device located substantially next to the microphone, the user how to improve the quality of a subsequent audio input, wherein the notification comprises emitting a vibration from the haptic device responsive to detecting the at least one factor and thereafter decreasing a magnitude of the vibration responsive to detecting that the at least one factor is minimized.
