Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In some embodiments, contextual data is obtained and used to select a set of keywords (e.g., words or phrases) for voice control of an electronic device. When a speech input is received by the electronic device, a determination is made whether the speech input includes any of the selected keywords. If the speech input does include a selected keyword, an action is performed in response.
