Patent abstract
Conversational dialog with a computer or other processor-based device without requiring push-to-talk functionality.

Based thereon the method turns on a speech recognition functionality for a period of time referred to as a listening horizon. Upon the listening horizon expiring, the method turns off the speech recognition functionality.
