BACKGROUND

Users may interact with electronic devices using a variety of different user interface mechanisms. Many computing devices now utilize user interfaces configured to accept natural, intuitive human interactions as input. For example, some such user interfaces utilize a display and a touch sensor located over the display for visual and tactile interactions, while others may utilize a speaker and microphone for speech/acoustic interactions.

SUMMARY

Examples are disclosed herein that relate to providing extended functionalities to a speech-based computing device. One example provides a computing device comprising an acoustic receiver configured to receive speech inputs, a speaker configured to present audio outputs, a communications subsystem configured to connect to an external device, a logic subsystem configured to execute instructions, and a storage subsystem comprising instructions executable by the logic subsystem to execute a program, connect to an external device via a wireless communications protocol, conduct an audio-based interaction of the program via the speech inputs received at the acoustic receiver and the audio outputs provided by the speaker, upon reaching a screen-based interaction of the program, notify a user via the speaker to interact with the external device, and provide image data to the external device for presentation via a screen of the external device.
