A method comprising: outputting, by a computing device (100; 200) and for display, a speech recognition graphical user interface having at least one element in a first visual format; receiving, by the computing device, first audio data of a voice command; determining, by the computing device, a voice-initiated action based on the first audio data; and outputting, while receiving second audio data of the voice command and prior to executing the voice-initiated action based on the first audio data, and for display, an updated speech recognition GUI in which the at least one element is displayed in a second visual format, different from the first visual format, to indicate that the voice-initiated action has been identified from the first audio data of the voice command; determining, by the computing device, a transcription based on the first audio data; identifying one or more words of the transcription that are associated with the voice-initiated action, wherein the at least one element includes at least a portion of the one or more words; and outputting, by the computing device, prior to outputting the updated speech recognition GUI, and for display in the first visual format, a portion of the transcription that excludes the one or more words; wherein outputting the updated speech recognition GUI further comprises cropping at least the portion of the transcription that was output such that the one or more words of the transcription related to the voice-initiated action are displayed; wherein: the first visual format of the at least one element includes an image representative of a speech recognition mode of the computing device (204-A), the second visual format of the at least one element includes an image representative of the voice-initiated action (204-B), and the image representative of the speech recognition mode changes into the image representative of the voice-initiated action responsive to determining the voice-initiated action based on the first audio data; determining, by the computing device, an actual voice-initiated action based on the first and second audio data of the voice command; and performing, by the computing device, the actual voice-initiated action. outputting, by a computing device (100; 200) and for display, a speech recognition graphical user interface having at least one element in a first visual format; receiving, by the computing device, first audio data of a voice command; determining, by the computing device, a voice-initiated action based on the first audio data; and outputting, while receiving second audio data of the voice command and prior to executing the voice-initiated action based on the first audio data, and for display, an updated speech recognition GUI in which the at least one element is displayed in a second visual format, different from the first visual format, to indicate that the voice-initiated action has been identified from the first audio data of the voice command; determining, by the computing device, a transcription based on the first audio data; identifying one or more words of the transcription that are associated with the voice-initiated action, wherein the at least one element includes at least a portion of the one or more words; and outputting, by the computing device, prior to outputting the updated speech recognition GUI, and for display in the first visual format, a portion of the transcription that excludes the one or more words; wherein outputting the updated speech recognition GUI further comprises cropping at least the portion of the transcription that was output such that the one or more words of the transcription related to the voice-initiated action are displayed; wherein: the first visual format of the at least one element includes an image representative of a speech recognition mode of the computing device (204-A), the second visual format of the at least one element includes an image representative of the voice-initiated action (204-B), and the image representative of the speech recognition mode changes into the image representative of the voice-initiated action responsive to determining the voice-initiated action based on the first audio data; the first visual format of the at least one element includes an image representative of a speech recognition mode of the computing device (204-A), the second visual format of the at least one element includes an image representative of the voice-initiated action (204-B), and the image representative of the speech recognition mode changes into the image representative of the voice-initiated action responsive to determining the voice-initiated action based on the first audio data; determining, by the computing device, an actual voice-initiated action based on the first and second audio data of the voice command; and performing, by the computing device, the actual voice-initiated action.
