Initiation of action upon recognition of a partial voice command

1. A computing device comprising:

one or more processors;

a speech recognition module to be operated by the processors to process and recognize a voice command; and

a voice command module to be operated by the processor to:

select, in response to recognition of an initial portion of the voice command, a plurality of voice commands having the same initial portion;

initiate execution of the plurality of voice commands; and

select a result of the execution of an individual voice command from a plurality of execution results of the plurality of voice commands on recognition of the entire voice command.

2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the voice command module is further to:

select a subset of the plurality of voice commands, in response to recognition of a subsequent portion of the voice command; and

terminate execution of the voice commands of the subset, wherein individual voice commands of the subset have different subsequent portions than the recognized subsequent portion.

3. The computing device of claim 2 , wherein to terminate execution of the voice commands of the subset further includes clearing individual buffers associated with respective voice commands of the subset.

4. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein to select a plurality of voice commands having the same initial portion is further based on a context of the computing device.

5. The computing device of claim 4 , wherein the context is one of time, location, or orientation of the computing device.

6. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the initial portion of the voice command is a first syllable of the voice command.

7. A computer-implemented method comprising:

selecting, by a voice command module, in response to recognition of an initial portion of the voice command, a plurality of voice commands having the same initial portion;

initiating, by the voice command module, execution of the plurality of voice commands; and

selecting, by the voice command module, a result of the execution of an individual voice command from a plurality of execution results of the plurality of voice commands on recognition of the entire voice command.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:

selecting, by the voice command module, a subset of the plurality of voice commands, in response to recognition of a subsequent portion of the voice command; and

terminating, by the voice command module, execution of the voice commands of the subset, wherein individual voice commands of the subset have different subsequent portions than the recognized subsequent portion.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein terminating execution of the voice commands of the subset further includes clearing individual buffers associated with respective voice commands of the subset.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein selecting a plurality of voice commands having the same initial portion is further based on a context of a computing device.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the context is one of time, location, or orientation of the computing device.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the initial portion of the voice command is a first syllable of the voice command.

13. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computing device, provide the computing device with a voice command module to:

select, in response to recognition of an initial portion of a voice command, a plurality of voice commands having the same initial portion;

initiate execution of the plurality of voice commands; and

select a result of the execution of an individual voice command from a plurality of execution results of the plurality of voice commands on recognition of the entire voice command.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the voice command module is further to:

select a subset of the plurality of voice commands, in response to recognition of a subsequent portion of the voice command; and

terminate execution of the voice commands of the subset, wherein individual voice commands of the subset have different subsequent portions than the recognized subsequent portion.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 14 , wherein to terminate execution of the voice commands of the subset further includes clearing individual buffers associated with respective voice commands of the subset.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein to select a plurality of voice commands having the same initial portion is further based on a context of the computing device.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 16 , wherein the context is one of time, location, or orientation of the computing device.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the initial portion of the voice command is a first syllable of the voice command.

19. An apparatus comprising:

means for selecting, in response to recognition of an initial portion of a voice command, a plurality of voice commands having the same initial portion;

means for initiating execution of the plurality of voice commands; and

means for selecting a result of the execution of an individual voice command from a plurality of execution results of the plurality of voice commands on recognition of the entire voice command.

20. The apparatus of claim 19 , further comprising:

means for selecting a subset of the plurality of voice commands, in response to recognition of a subsequent portion of the voice command; and

means for terminating execution of the voice commands of the subset, wherein individual voice commands of the subset have different subsequent portions than the recognized subsequent portion.

21. The apparatus of claim 20 , wherein the means for terminating execution of the voice commands of the subset further includes means for clearing individual buffers associated with respective voice commands of the subset.

22. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein selecting a plurality of voice commands having the same initial portion is further based on a context of a computing device.

23. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the context is one of time, location, or orientation of the computing device.

24. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the initial portion of the voice command is a first syllable of the voice command.
