Claim:
1. A method of customizing user controls, the method comprising: storing a calibration of an input for a user; determining a biological age of the user by comparing a birth date of the user with a current date; searching, based on the age of the user, a database listing recalibration rates at which inputs need to be recalibrated for given biological ages to determine a recalibration rate at which to recalibrate the calibration, wherein the recalibration rate indicates a frequency for recalibrating the stored calibration and a degree for updating an attribute of the stored calibration of the user; receiving verbal input from the user; determining that the received verbal input does not correspond to any available media guidance application operations; and in response to determining that the received verbal input does not correspond to any available media guidance application operations, recalibrating the calibration based on the frequency and degree indicated by the recalibration rate.
