Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device can implement a zero-latency digital assistant by capturing audio input from a microphone and using a first processor to write audio data representing the captured audio input to a memory buffer. in response to detecting a user input while capturing the audio input, the device can determine whether the user input meets a predetermined criteria. if the user input meets the criteria, the device can use a second processor to identify and execute a task based on at least a portion of the contents of the memory buffer.
