Base Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying, by a mobile computing device, a first pose with which the mobile computing device is being held by a user, the first pose being identified from among a plurality of predetermined poses; initiating, after identifying the first pose, a first audio recording process using a microphone of the mobile computing device; selecting, based on the first pose identified by the mobile computing device, a first set of one or more parameters from among a plurality of parameters, wherein the first set of one or more parameters define settings that are specific to the first pose and that differentiate between, at least, speech and background noise when the mobile computing device is being held in the first pose; detecting that the user has started speaking during the first audio recording process; determining, after the user has started speaking during the first audio recording process and using the first set of one or more parameters, whether the user has stopped speaking during the first audio recording process; stopping, based on the determining whether the user has stopped speaking during the first audio recording process, the first audio recording process; identifying, by the mobile computing device, a second pose with which the mobile computing device is being held by the user, the second pose being identified from among the plurality of predetermined poses, and the second pose being distinct from the first pose; initiating, after identifying the second pose, a second audio recording process using the microphone of the mobile computing device; selecting, based on the second pose identified by the mobile computing device, a second set of one or more parameters from among the plurality of parameters, wherein the second set of one or more parameters define settings that are specific to the second pose and that differentiate between, at least, speech and background noise when the mobile computing device is being held in the second pose; detecting that the user has started speaking during the second audio recording process; determining, after the user has started speaking during the second audio recording process and using the second set of one or more parameters, whether the user has stopped speaking during the second audio recording process; and stopping, based on the determining whether the user has stopped speaking during the second audio recording process, the second audio recording process.

Claim 10:
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: in response to initiating the first audio recording process, outputting an indication on the mobile computing device that indicates that the first audio recording process has started.
