Description:
FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for managing audio media playback. 
     BACKGROUND 
     A computer system has the ability to control output of audio for a variety of media files, such as music files, audiobook files, video files, and/or other multimedia files. For example, the computer system is configured to play audio of the media files, pause audio of the media files, and/or skip audio of the media files based on user inputs on a user interface. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY 
     Some techniques for managing a media playback application using computer systems, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques do not display a visual indication of text corresponding to speech in an audio file, such that a user may experience difficulty locating particular speech content in the audio. In addition, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface for playing back audio files or for navigating to a specific portion of an audio file, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices. 
     Accordingly, the present technique provides computer systems with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing a media playback application. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing a media playback application. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges. Additionally, such methods and interfaces reduce a number of unnecessary, extraneous, and/or repetitive inputs for playing back a particular portion of an audio file.

     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
     The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments. 
     There is a need for electronic devices that provide efficient methods and interfaces for managing a media playback application. For example, a user may have a need for visual indications of text corresponding to speech of audio configured to be controlled by media playback application. The visual indication of text enables a user to find a particular portion of an audio file quickly. As another example, a user may utilize a bookmark for an audio file to cause playback of a particular portion of the audio file. Initiating playback of the portion of the audio file associated with the bookmark at a beginning of a grammatical structure facilitates a user&#39;s understanding of the audio. As another example, a user may have a need to search for a particular portion of an audio file by using a string of text characters in a search function. Electronic device may cause speech recognition to be performed on an audio file in order to enable the user to search for a particular portion of the audio file. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user who interacts with the media playback application, thereby enhancing productivity. Further, such techniques can reduce processor and battery power otherwise wasted on redundant user inputs. 
     Below,  FIGS.  1 A- 1 B,  2 ,  3 ,  4 A- 4 B, and  5 A- 5 B  provide a description of exemplary devices for performing the techniques for managing event notifications.

     Although the following description uses terms “first,” “second,” etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first touch could be termed a second touch, and, similarly, a second touch could be termed a first touch, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. The first touch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the same touch. 
     The terminology used in the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “includes,” “including,” “comprises,” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. 
     The term “if” is, optionally, construed to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to determining” or “in response to detecting,” depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase “if it is determined” or “if [a stated condition or event] is detected” is, optionally, construed to mean “upon determining” or “in response to determining” or “upon detecting [the stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the stated condition or event],” depending on the context. 
     Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as a mobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif. Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touchpads), are, optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and/or a touchpad). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that is in communication (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) with a display generation component. The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system. As used herein, “displaying” content includes causing to display the content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by display controller  156 ) by transmitting, via a wired or wireless connection, data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component to visually produce the content. 
     In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick. 
     The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application. 
     The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user. 
     Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays.  FIG.  1 A  is a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device  100  with touch-sensitive display system  112  in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display  112  is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience and is sometimes known as or called a “touch-sensitive display system.” Device  100  includes memory  102  (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage mediums), memory controller  122 , one or more processing units (CPUs)  120 , peripherals interface  118 , RF circuitry  108 , audio circuitry  110 , speaker  111 , microphone  113 , input/output (I/O) subsystem  106 , other input control devices  116 , and external port  124 . Device  100  optionally includes one or more optical sensors  164 . Device  100  optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors  165  for detecting intensity of contacts on device  100  (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system  112  of device  100 ). Device  100  optionally includes one or more tactile output generators  167  for generating tactile outputs on device  100  (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system  112  of device  100  or touchpad  355  of device  300 ). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines  103 . 
     As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least  256 ). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button). 
     As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user&#39;s sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user&#39;s hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user&#39;s movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user. 
     It should be appreciated that device  100  is only one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device  100  optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in  FIG.  1 A  are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application-specific integrated circuits. 
     Memory  102  optionally includes high-speed random access memory and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Memory controller  122  optionally controls access to memory  102  by other components of device  100 . 
     Peripherals interface  118  can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU  120  and memory  102 . The one or more processors  120  run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory  102  to perform various functions for device  100  and to process data. In some embodiments, peripherals interface  118 , CPU  120 , and memory controller  122  are, optionally, implemented on a single chip, such as chip  104 . In some other embodiments, they are, optionally, implemented on separate chips. 
     RF (radio frequency) circuitry  108  receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals.

     Audio circuitry  110 , speaker  111 , and microphone  113  provide an audio interface between a user and device  100 . Audio circuitry  110  receives audio data from peripherals interface  118 , converts the audio data to an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to speaker  111 . Speaker  111  converts the electrical signal to human-audible sound waves. Audio circuitry  110  also receives electrical signals converted by microphone  113  from sound waves. Audio circuitry  110  converts the electrical signal to audio data and transmits the audio data to peripherals interface  118  for processing. Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory  102  and/or RF circuitry  108  by peripherals interface  118 . In some embodiments, audio circuitry  110  also includes a headset jack (e.g.,  212 ,  FIG.  2   ). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry  110  and removable audio input/output peripherals, such as output-only headphones or a headset with both output (e.g., a headphone for one or both ears) and input (e.g., a microphone). 
     I/O subsystem  106  couples input/output peripherals on device  100 , such as touch screen  112  and other input control devices  116 , to peripherals interface  118 . I/O subsystem  106  optionally includes display controller  156 , optical sensor controller  158 , depth camera controller  169 , intensity sensor controller  159 , haptic feedback controller  161 , and one or more input controllers  160  for other input or control devices.

In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a trackpad, as part of a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include one or more camera sensors (e.g., one or more optical sensors  164  and/or one or more depth camera sensors  175 ), such as for tracking a user&#39;s gestures (e.g., hand gestures) as input. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are separate from the computer system. 
     A quick press of the push button optionally disengages a lock of touch screen  112  or optionally begins a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,849, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g.,  206 ) optionally turns power to device  100  on or off. The functionality of one or more of the buttons are, optionally, user-customizable. Touch screen  112  is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards. 
     Touch-sensitive display  112  provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller  156  receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch screen  112 . Touch screen  112  displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user-interface objects. 
     Touch screen  112  has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen  112  and display controller  156  (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory  102 ) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen  112  and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touch screen  112 . In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen  112  and the user corresponds to a finger of the user. 
     Touch screen  112  optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch screen  112  and display controller  156  optionally detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen  112 . In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone® and iPod Touch® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif. 
     A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen  112  is, optionally, analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following U.S. Patents: U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen  112  displays visual output from device  100 , whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output. 
     A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen  112  is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/903,964, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jul. 30, 2004; (4) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/048,264, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 31, 2005; (5) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/038,590, “Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 18, 2005; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,758, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,700, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/367,749, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device,” filed Mar. 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. 
     Touch screen  112  optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user optionally makes contact with touch screen  112  using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user. 
     In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device  100  optionally includes a touchpad for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is, optionally, a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from touch screen  112  or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of device  100 , opposite touch screen display  112  on the front of the device so that the touch screen display is enabled for use as a viewfinder for still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user&#39;s image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of optical sensor  164  can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor  164  is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition. 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors  175 .  FIG.  1 A  shows a depth camera sensor coupled to depth camera controller  169  in I/O subsystem  106 . Depth camera sensor  175  receives data from the environment to create a three dimensional model of an object (e.g., a face) within a scene from a viewpoint (e.g., a depth camera sensor). In some embodiments, in conjunction with imaging module  143  (also called a camera module), depth camera sensor  175  is optionally used to determine a depth map of different portions of an image captured by the imaging module  143 . In some embodiments, a depth camera sensor is located on the front of device  100  so that the user&#39;s image with depth information is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display and to capture selfies with depth map data. In some embodiments, the depth camera sensor  175  is located on the back of device, or on the back and the front of the device  100 . In some embodiments, the position of depth camera sensor  175  can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a depth camera sensor  175  is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition. 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors  165 .  FIG.  1 A  shows a contact intensity sensor coupled to intensity sensor controller  159  in I/O subsystem  106 . Contact intensity sensor  165  optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electric force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact intensity sensor  165  receives contact intensity information (e.g., pressure information or a proxy for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system  112 ). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back of device  100 , opposite touch screen display  112 , which is located on the front of device  100 . 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors  166 .  FIG.  1 A  shows proximity sensor  166  coupled to peripherals interface  118 . Alternately, proximity sensor  166  is, optionally, coupled to input controller  160  in I/O subsystem  106 . Proximity sensor  166  optionally performs as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/241,839, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device”; Ser. No. 11/240,788, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device”; Ser. No. 11/620,702, “Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output”; Ser. No. 11/586,862, “Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices”; and Ser. No. 11/638,251, “Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals,” which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables touch screen  112  when the multifunction device is placed near the user&#39;s ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call). 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators  167 .

Contact intensity sensor  165  receives tactile feedback generation instructions from haptic feedback module  133  and generates tactile outputs on device  100  that are capable of being sensed by a user of device  100 . In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system  112 ) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in/out of a surface of device  100 ) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as a surface of device  100 ). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of device  100 , opposite touch screen display  112 , which is located on the front of device  100 . 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more accelerometers  168 .  FIG.  1 A  shows accelerometer  168  coupled to peripherals interface  118 . Alternately, accelerometer  168  is, optionally, coupled to an input controller  160  in I/O subsystem  106 . Accelerometer  168  optionally performs as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050190059, “Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices,” and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20060017692, “Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer,” both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touch screen display in a portrait view or a landscape view based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers. Device  100  optionally includes, in addition to accelerometer(s)  168 , a magnetometer and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver for obtaining information concerning the location and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of device  100 . 
     In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory  102  include operating system  126 , communication module (or set of instructions)  128 , contact/motion module (or set of instructions)  130 , graphics module (or set of instructions)  132 , text input module (or set of instructions)  134 , Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions)  135 , and applications (or sets of instructions)  136 . Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory  102  ( FIG.  1 A ) or  370  ( FIG.  3   ) stores device/global internal state  157 , as shown in  FIGS.  1 A and  3   . Device/global internal state  157  includes one or more of: active application state, indicating which applications, if any, are currently active; display state, indicating what applications, views or other information occupy various regions of touch screen display  112 ; sensor state, including information obtained from the device&#39;s various sensors and input control devices  116 ; and location information concerning the device&#39;s location and/or attitude. 
     Operating system  126  (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components. 
     Communication module  128  facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports  124  and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry  108  and/or external port  124 . External port  124  (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the 30-pin connector used on iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices. 
     Contact/motion module  130  optionally detects contact with touch screen  112  (in conjunction with display controller  156 ) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module  130  includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module  130  receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module  130  and display controller  156  detect contact on a touchpad. 
     In some embodiments, contact/motion module  130  uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device  100 ). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter). 
     Contact/motion module  130  optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event. 
     Graphics module  132  includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch screen  112  or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term “graphics” includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including, without limitation, text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like. 
     In some embodiments, graphics module  132  stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code. Graphics module  132  receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed along with, if necessary, coordinate data and other graphic property data, and then generates screen image data to output to display controller  156 . 
     Haptic feedback module  133  includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator(s)  167  to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on device  100  in response to user interactions with device  100 . 
     Text input module  134 , which is, optionally, a component of graphics module  132 , provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts  137 , e-mail  140 , IM  141 , browser  147 , and any other application that needs text input). 
     GPS module  135  determines the location of the device and provides this information for use in various applications (e.g., to telephone  138  for use in location-based dialing; to camera  143  as picture/video metadata; and to applications that provide location-based services such as weather widgets, local yellow page widgets, and map/navigation widgets). 
     Applications  136  optionally include the following modules (or sets of instructions), or a subset or superset thereof:
         Contacts module  137  (sometimes called an address book or contact list);   Telephone module  138 ;   Video conference module  139 ;   E-mail client module  140 ;   Instant messaging (IM) module  141 ;   Workout support module  142 ;   Camera module  143  for still and/or video images;   Image management module  144 ;   Video player module;   Music player module;   Browser module  147 ;   Calendar module  148 ;   Widget modules  149 , which optionally include one or more of: weather widget  149 - 1 , stocks widget  149 - 2 , calculator widget  149 - 3 , alarm clock widget  149 - 4 , dictionary widget  149 - 5 , and other widgets obtained by the user, as well as user-created widgets  149 - 6 ;   Widget creator module  150  for making user-created widgets  149 - 6 ;   Search module  151 ;   Video and music player module  152 , which merges video player module and music player module;   Notes module  153 ;   Map module  154 ; and/or   Online video module  155 .

Additional description of the online video application can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/936,562, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Jun. 20, 2007, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/968,067, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Dec. 31, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. 
     Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module is, optionally, combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module  152 ,  FIG.  1 A ). In some embodiments, memory  102  optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory  102  optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above. 
     In some embodiments, device  100  is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device  100 , the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device  100  is, optionally, reduced. 
     The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device  100  to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device  100 . In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad. 
       FIG.  1 B  is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory  102  ( FIG.  1 A ) or  370  ( FIG.  3   ) includes event sorter  170  (e.g., in operating system  126 ) and a respective application  136 - 1  (e.g., any of the aforementioned applications  137 - 151 ,  155 ,  380 - 390 ). 
     Event sorter  170  receives event information and determines the application  136 - 1  and application view  191  of application  136 - 1  to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter  170  includes event monitor  171  and event dispatcher module  174 . In some embodiments, application  136 - 1  includes application internal state  192 , which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display  112  when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state  157  is used by event sorter  170  to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state  192  is used by event sorter  170  to determine application views  191  to which to deliver event information. 
     In some embodiments, application internal state  192  includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application  136 - 1  resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application  136 - 1 , a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application  136 - 1 , and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user. 
     Event monitor  171  receives event information from peripherals interface  118 . Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display  112 , as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface  118  transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem  106  or a sensor, such as proximity sensor  166 , accelerometer(s)  168 , and/or microphone  113  (through audio circuitry  110 ). Information that peripherals interface  118  receives from I/O subsystem  106  includes information from touch-sensitive display  112  or a touch-sensitive surface. 
     In some embodiments, event monitor  171  sends requests to the peripherals interface  118  at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface  118  transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface  118  transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration). 
     In some embodiments, event sorter  170  also includes a hit view determination module  172  and/or an active event recognizer determination module  173 . 
     Hit view determination module  172  provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display  112  displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display. 
     Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture. 
     Hit view determination module  172  receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module  172  identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module  172 , the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view. 
     Active event recognizer determination module  173  determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module  173  determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module  173  determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views. 
     Event dispatcher module  174  dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer  180 ). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module  173 , event dispatcher module  174  delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module  173 . In some embodiments, event dispatcher module  174  stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver  182 . 
     In some embodiments, operating system  126  includes event sorter  170 . Alternatively, application  136 - 1  includes event sorter  170 . In yet other embodiments, event sorter  170  is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory  102 , such as contact/motion module  130 . 
     In some embodiments, application  136 - 1  includes a plurality of event handlers  190  and one or more application views  191 , each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application&#39;s user interface. Each application view  191  of the application  136 - 1  includes one or more event recognizers  180 . Typically, a respective application view  191  includes a plurality of event recognizers  180 . In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers  180  are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit or a higher level object from which application  136 - 1  inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler  190  includes one or more of: data updater  176 , object updater  177 , GUI updater  178 , and/or event data  179  received from event sorter  170 . Event handler  190  optionally utilizes or calls data updater  176 , object updater  177 , or GUI updater  178  to update the application internal state  192 . Alternatively, one or more of the application views  191  include one or more respective event handlers  190 . Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater  176 , object updater  177 , and GUI updater  178  are included in a respective application view  191 . 
     A respective event recognizer  180  receives event information (e.g., event data  179 ) from event sorter  170  and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer  180  includes event receiver  182  and event comparator  184 . In some embodiments, event recognizer  180  also includes at least a subset of: metadata  183 , and event delivery instructions  188  (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions). 
     Event receiver  182  receives event information from event sorter  170 . The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device. 
     Event comparator  184  compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator  184  includes event definitions  186 . Event definitions  186  contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event  1  ( 187 - 1 ), event  2  ( 187 - 2 ), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event ( 187 ) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event  1  ( 187 - 1 ) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event  2  ( 187 - 2 ) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display  112 , and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers  190 . 
     In some embodiments, event definition  187  includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator  184  performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display  112 , when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display  112 , event comparator  184  performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler  190 , the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler  190  should be activated. For example, event comparator  184  selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test. 
     In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event ( 187 ) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer&#39;s event type. 
     When a respective event recognizer  180  determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions  186 , the respective event recognizer  180  enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture. 
     In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer  180  includes metadata  183  with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata  183  includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata  183  includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy. 
     In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer  180  activates event handler  190  associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer  180  delivers event information associated with the event to event handler  190 . Activating an event handler  190  is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer  180  throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler  190  associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process. 
     In some embodiments, event delivery instructions  188  include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process. 
     In some embodiments, data updater  176  creates and updates data used in application  136 - 1 . For example, data updater  176  updates the telephone number used in contacts module  137 , or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater  177  creates and updates objects used in application  136 - 1 . For example, object updater  177  creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater  178  updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater  178  prepares display information and sends it to graphics module  132  for display on a touch-sensitive display. 
     In some embodiments, event handler(s)  190  includes or has access to data updater  176 , object updater  177 , and GUI updater  178 . In some embodiments, data updater  176 , object updater  177 , and GUI updater  178  are included in a single module of a respective application  136 - 1  or application view  191 . In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules. 
     It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices  100  with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized. 
       FIG.  2    illustrates a portable multifunction device  100  having a touch screen  112  in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI)  200 . In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers  202  (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses  203  (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward), and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with device  100 . In some implementations or circumstances, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap. 
     Device  100  optionally also include one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button  204 . As described previously, menu button  204  is, optionally, used to navigate to any application  136  in a set of applications that are, optionally, executed on device  100 . Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen  112 . 
     In some embodiments, device  100  includes touch screen  112 , menu button  204 , push button  206  for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s)  208 , subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot  210 , headset jack  212 , and docking/charging external port  124 . Push button  206  is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device  100  also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone  113 . Device  100  also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors  165  for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen  112  and/or one or more tactile output generators  167  for generating tactile outputs for a user of device  100 . 
       FIG.  3    is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface in accordance with some embodiments. Device  300  need not be portable. In some embodiments, device  300  is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child&#39;s learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller). Device  300  typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs)  310 , one or more network or other communications interfaces  360 , memory  370 , and one or more communication buses  320  for interconnecting these components. Communication buses  320  optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components. Device  300  includes input/output (I/O) interface  330  comprising display  340 , which is typically a touch screen display. I/O interface  330  also optionally includes a keyboard and/or mouse (or other pointing device)  350  and touchpad  355 , tactile output generator  357  for generating tactile outputs on device  300  (e.g., similar to tactile output generator(s)  167  described above with reference to  FIG.  1 A ), sensors  359  (e.g., optical, acceleration, proximity, touch-sensitive, and/or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor(s)  165  described above with reference to  FIG.  1 A ). Memory  370  includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices. Memory  370  optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from CPU(s)  310 . In some embodiments, memory  370  stores programs, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory  102  of portable multifunction device  100  ( FIG.  1 A ), or a subset thereof. Furthermore, memory  370  optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory  102  of portable multifunction device  100 . For example, memory  370  of device  300  optionally stores drawing module  380 , presentation module  382 , word processing module  384 , website creation module  386 , disk authoring module  388 , and/or spreadsheet module  390 , while memory  102  of portable multifunction device  100  ( FIG.  1 A ) optionally does not store these modules. 
     Each of the above-identified elements in  FIG.  3    is, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above-identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above-identified modules or programs (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory  370  optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory  370  optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above. 
     Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that are, optionally, implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device  100 . 
       FIG.  4 A  illustrates an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications on portable multifunction device  100  in accordance with some embodiments. Similar user interfaces are, optionally, implemented on device  300 . In some embodiments, user interface  400  includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:
         Signal strength indicator(s)  402  for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals;   Time  404 ;   Bluetooth indicator  405 ;   Battery status indicator  406 ;   Tray  408  with icons for frequently used applications, such as:
           Icon  416  for telephone module  138 , labeled “Phone,” which optionally includes an indicator  414  of the number of missed calls or voicemail messages;   Icon  418  for e-mail client module  140 , labeled “Mail,” which optionally includes an indicator  410  of the number of unread e-mails;   Icon  420  for browser module  147 , labeled “Browser;” and   Icon  422  for video and music player module  152 , also referred to as iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module  152 , labeled “iPod;” and   
           Icons for other applications, such as:
           Icon  424  for IM module  141 , labeled “Messages;”   Icon  426  for calendar module  148 , labeled “Calendar;”   Icon  428  for image management module  144 , labeled “Photos;”   Icon  430  for camera module  143 , labeled “Camera;”   Icon  432  for online video module  155 , labeled “Online Video;”   Icon  434  for stocks widget  149 - 2 , labeled “Stocks;”   Icon  436  for map module  154 , labeled “Maps;”   Icon  438  for weather widget  149 - 1 , labeled “Weather;”   Icon  440  for alarm clock widget  149 - 4 , labeled “Clock;”   Icon  442  for workout support module  142 , labeled “Workout Support;”   Icon  444  for notes module  153 , labeled “Notes;” and   Icon  446  for a settings application or module, labeled “Settings,” which provides access to settings for device  100  and its various applications  136 .   
               

     It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in  FIG.  4 A  are merely exemplary. For example, icon  422  for video and music player module  152  is labeled “Music” or “Music Player.” Other labels are, optionally, used for various application icons. In some embodiments, a label for a respective application icon includes a name of an application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, a label for a particular application icon is distinct from a name of an application corresponding to the particular application icon. 
       FIG.  4 B  illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device  300 ,  FIG.  3   ) with a touch-sensitive surface  451  (e.g., a tablet or touchpad  355 ,  FIG.  3   ) that is separate from the display  450  (e.g., touch screen display  112 ). Device  300  also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors  359 ) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface  451  and/or one or more tactile output generators  357  for generating tactile outputs for a user of device  300 . 
     Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display  112  (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in  FIG.  4 B . In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g.,  451  in  FIG.  4 B ) has a primary axis (e.g.,  452  in  FIG.  4 B ) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g.,  453  in  FIG.  4 B ) on the display (e.g.,  450 ). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g.,  460  and  462  in  FIG.  4 B ) with the touch-sensitive surface  451  at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in  FIG.  4 B,  460    corresponds to  468  and  462  corresponds to  470 ). In this way, user inputs (e.g., contacts  460  and  462 , and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g.,  451  in  FIG.  4 B ) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g.,  450  in  FIG.  4 B ) of the multifunction device when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should be understood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other user interfaces described herein. 
     Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously. 
       FIG.  5 A  illustrates exemplary personal electronic device  500 . Device  500  includes body  502 . In some embodiments, device  500  can include some or all of the features described with respect to devices  100  and  300  (e.g.,  FIGS.  1 A- 4 B ). In some embodiments, device  500  has touch-sensitive display screen  504 , hereafter touch screen  504 . Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen  504 , device  500  has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices  100  and  300 , in some embodiments, touch screen  504  (or the touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting intensity of contacts (e.g., touches) being applied. The one or more intensity sensors of touch screen  504  (or the touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data that represents the intensity of touches. The user interface of device  500  can respond to touches based on their intensity, meaning that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device  500 . 
     Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in related applications: International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/040061, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed May 8, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2013/169849, and International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/069483, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships,” filed Nov. 11, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2014/105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. 
     In some embodiments, device  500  has one or more input mechanisms  506  and  508 . Input mechanisms  506  and  508 , if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device  500  has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device  500  with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms permit device  500  to be worn by a user. 
       FIG.  5 B  depicts exemplary personal electronic device  500 . In some embodiments, device  500  can include some or all of the components described with respect to  FIGS.  1 A,  1 B , and  3 . Device  500  has bus  512  that operatively couples I/O section  514  with one or more computer processors  516  and memory  518 . I/O section  514  can be connected to display  504 , which can have touch-sensitive component  522  and, optionally, intensity sensor  524  (e.g., contact intensity sensor). In addition, I/O section  514  can be connected with communication unit  530  for receiving application and operating system data, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and/or other wireless communication techniques. Device  500  can include input mechanisms  506  and/or  508 . Input mechanism  506  is, optionally, a rotatable input device or a depressible and rotatable input device, for example. Input mechanism  508  is, optionally, a button, in some examples. 
     Input mechanism  508  is, optionally, a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device  500  optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor  532 , accelerometer  534 , directional sensor  540  (e.g., compass), gyroscope  536 , motion sensor  538 , and/or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/O section  514 . 
     Memory  518  of personal electronic device  500  can include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors  516 , for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including processes  700 ,  900 , and  1100  ( FIGS.  7 ,  9 , and  11   ). A computer-readable storage medium can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transitory computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include, but is not limited to, magnetic, optical, and/or semiconductor storages. Examples of such storage include magnetic disks, optical discs based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technologies, as well as persistent solid-state memory such as flash, solid-state drives, and the like. Personal electronic device  500  is not limited to the components and configuration of  FIG.  5 B , but can include other or additional components in multiple configurations. 
     As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that is, optionally, displayed on the display screen of devices  100 ,  300 , and/or  500  ( FIGS.  1 A,  3 , and  5 A- 5 B ). For example, an image (e.g., icon), a button, and text (e.g., hyperlink) each optionally constitute an affordance. 
     As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad  355  in  FIG.  3    or touch-sensitive surface  451  in  FIG.  4 B ) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations that include a touch screen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system  112  in  FIG.  1 A  or touch screen  112  in  FIG.  4 A ) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display, a detected contact on the touch screen acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user&#39;s intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact). For example, the location of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact, or a selection box) over a respective button while a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device). 
     As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation), rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation. 
     In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface optionally receives a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location is, optionally, based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is, optionally, applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. 
     The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures. 
     An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch-surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is greater than zero. 
     In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). 
     In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances). 
     For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold. 
     Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processes that are implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device  100 , device  300 , or device  500 . 
       FIGS.  6 A- 6 N  illustrate exemplary user interfaces for displaying text corresponding to speech of an audio file, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in  FIG.  7   . 
       FIG.  6 A  illustrates electronic device  600  (e.g., a smartphone) with display  602  (e.g., touch screen). In some embodiments, device  600  includes one or more features of devices  100 ,  300 , and/or  500 . At  FIG.  6 A , electronic device  600  displays, on display  602 , media playback user interface  604  associated with a media application (e.g., a books application, an audiobooks application) of electronic device  600 . Media playback user interface  604  enables a user of electronic device  600  to adjust and/or control audio settings of media output by electronic device  600 . Media playback user interface  604  is configured to control playback of audio files. In some embodiments, the audio files may be audiobook files, music files, podcast files, multimedia files (e.g., video files), and/or other media files that include audio. 
     A user of electronic device  600  may wish to view text representing speech (e.g., words and/or lyrics) of the audio files. For example, a user may wish to cause playback of an audio file at a particular portion of the audio file that includes specific dialogue and/or lyrics. However, in some embodiments, including the embodiment of  FIGS.  6 A- 6 N , the audio files do not include pre-generated text data corresponding to the speech of the audio files. In other words, the audio files do not include metadata, embedded data, and/or any associated data including the text of the speech. As such, electronic device  600  (or an external device in communication with electronic device  600 ) performs speech recognition of and/or transcribes the audio files to generate text corresponding to speech in the audio files. In some embodiments, speech recognition is performed in real time (e.g., while electronic device  600  outputs audio of an audio file), at the time when a particular audio file is selected for control via media playback user interface  604 , and/or at the time when an audio file is stored on electronic device  600  (e.g., in memory of electronic device  600  and/or in a cloud). Electronic device  600  can thus display text corresponding to speech of audio that is output at a specific time in the audio file, such that a user can control playback of the audio file to output a desired portion of the speech of the audio by viewing the text generated via speech recognition. The manner in which media playback user interface  604  displays the text corresponding to speech of an audio file (e.g., an audiobook file) is discussed in detail with reference to  FIGS.  6 A- 6 N . 
     At  FIG.  6 A , media playback user interface  604  controls playback of audio of an audiobook file entitled “The Autobiography of John Appleseed.” At  FIG.  6 A , media playback user interface  604  includes audiobook indicator  604   a , such as an image of a book cover of an audiobook associated with the audiobook file as well as text identifying the audiobook file. Media playback user interface  604  includes now playing indicator  604   b , such as text indicating a chapter or portion of the selected audiobook file and/or text indicating a title of the selected audiobook file. Media playback user interface also includes settings user interface object  604   c  that, when selected via user input, causes electronic device  600  to display a settings user interface that includes various control user interface objects, such as a bookmark user interface object. Media playback user interface  604  further includes a scrubber bar  604   d  that enables a user to adjust a playback time of the audio via user input. Media playback user interface  604  includes audio control user interface objects  604   e  that enable a user to control playback of the audio by pausing, playing, and/or skipping the audio. Additionally, media playback user interface  604  includes volume control user interface object  604   f  that enables a user to adjust a volume of the audio output via user input. Further still, media playback user interface  604  includes audio speed user interface object  604   g  that enables a user to adjust a playback speed of the audio output, sleep setting user interface object  604   h  that enables a user to select a duration for electronic device  600  to continue audio output before pausing and/or stopping the audio output, and share audio user interface object  604   i  enabling a user to transmit data related to the audiobook file to an external device. Media playback user interface  604  further includes table of contents user interface object  604   j  that, when selected via user input, causes electronic device  600  to display a table of contents user interface, a bookmark user interface, and/or a notes user interface. 
     At  FIG.  6 A , electronic device  600  detects user input  650   a , which is a movement of a tap and hold gesture in a first direction and/or a tap and swipe gesture in the first direction, on thumb  604   k  of scrubber bar  604   d  while thumb  604   k  is at a first position on scrubber bar  604   d  (e.g., the first position is associated with time 10:00 of the audiobook file). In response to detecting user input  650   a , electronic device  600  displays text indicator  604   l , as shown at  FIG.  6 B . User input  650   a  includes movement of a touch and hold gesture in a leftward direction. Upon detecting contact of user input  650   a , electronic device displays text indicator  604   l  showing text corresponding to speech of the audio file at a time associated with a second position of thumb  604   k  on scrubber bar  604   d  (e.g., time 0:27). Additionally, movement of user input  650   a  causes thumb  604   k  to move from the first position on scrubber bar  604   d  in the leftward direction (e.g., the first direction and/or the same direction as the movement of the touch and hold gesture or user input  650   a ) to the second position. As such, text indicator  604   l  displays text corresponding to speech of the audio at the second position (e.g., text corresponding to speech of the audio at time 0:27). In some embodiments, text indicator  604   l  is displayed with text corresponding to speech of the audio at the first position (e.g., text corresponding to speech of the audio at time 10:00) upon initial contact of user input  650   a  (e.g., when a finger contact is detected on thumb  604   k  for a predetermined period of time). 
     In some embodiments, user input  650   a  includes movement in multiple directions and/or along two different axes (e.g., a vertical axis and a horizontal axis with respect to display  602 ). For instance, user input  650   a  can include horizontal movement and vertical movement along display  602 . In some embodiments, electronic device  600  recognizes movement associated with user input  650   a  along only a single axis (e.g., a horizontal axis or direction with respect to display  602 ). Accordingly, while user input  650   a  may include movement in multiple directions, electronic device  600  displays text in text indicator  604   l  based on movement along a single axis. In some embodiments, movement associated with user input  650   a  along a second axis (e.g., a vertical axis or direction with respect to display  602 ) is ignored by electronic device  600  and/or is not otherwise utilized to determine text displayed by text indicator  604   l.    
     In some embodiments, electronic device  600  ceases to cause audio output upon detection of user input  650   a . For instance, electronic device  600  ceases to cause audio output (e.g., via speakers of electronic device  600  (e.g., internal speakers of electronic device  600  or external speakers in communication with electronic device  600 )) upon detecting a touch and hold portion of user input  650   a . In some embodiments, electronic device  600  causes audio output upon detecting a movement portion of user input  650   a  (e.g., while touch and hold occurs, electronic device  600  causes output of audio at a speed that is in conjunction with a speed of the movement portion of user input  650   a  and/or a detected amount of movement of the movement portion of user input  650   a ). In some embodiments, electronic device  600  ceases to cause audio output until a lift off of user input  650   a  is detected (e.g., audio output is ceased until finger contact of user input  650   a  on display  602  is broken or no longer detected). 
     At  FIG.  6 B , text indicator  604   l  (e.g., pop-up bubble) is displayed as being overlaid on now playing indicator  604   b . As such, text indicator  604   l  at least partially covers and/or at least partially blocks display of now playing indicator  604   b . In some embodiments, text indicator  604   l  is overlaid over different elements of media playback user interface  604 , such as audiobook indicator  604   a , settings user interface object  604   c , audio control user interface objects  604   e , and/or volume control user interface object  604   f . In some embodiments, text indicator  604   l  is displayed as being overlaid over scrubber bar  604   d . Further, in some embodiments, text indicator  604   l  is at least partially transparent, such that a user may continue to view elements of media playback user interface  604  while displaying text indicator  604   l  (e.g., user can view elements of media playback user interface  604  behind text indicator  604   l ). 
     At  FIG.  6 B , text indicator  604   l  includes a ticker-tape (e.g., scrolling set of text) display of text corresponding to speech of the audio file at the second position of thumb  604   k . For example, text indicator  604   l  displays at least a portion of a first sentence of text corresponding to speech of the audio and a second sentence of text corresponding to speech of the audio. In some embodiments, text displayed by text indicator  604   l  highlights a particular word of text that corresponds to speech of the audio that is output at the particular time associated with the position of thumb  604   k . Additionally, text indicator  604   l  includes words that precede and/or follow the particular word of text that corresponds to speech of the audio that is output at the particular time of the audio file associated with position of thumb  604   k . In some embodiments, text indicator  604   l  includes only words that follow the particular word of text that corresponds to speech of the audio that is output at the particular time of the audio file associated with position of thumb  604   k.    
     At  FIG.  6 B , electronic device  600  detects user input  650   b  (e.g., movement of a tap and hold gesture in a second direction, opposite the first direction, or a tap and swipe gesture in the second direction) on thumb  604   k  of scrubber bar  604   d  while thumb  604   k  is at the second position. In response to detecting user input  650   b , electronic device  600  causes thumb  604   k  to move from the second position to a third position (e.g., a position associated with time 0:41), different from the first position and the second position. As such, the position of thumb  604   k  moves in a rightward direction (e.g., the second direction and/or the same direction as the movement associated with user input  650   b ), as shown at  FIG.  6 C . At  FIG.  6 C , electronic device  600  displays text indicator  604   l  having text corresponding to speech of the audio at the time associated with the third position of thumb  604   k  (e.g., different text than what is displayed when thumb  604   k  is at the second position). Accordingly, user input on thumb  604   k  can rewind (e.g., skip backward in time) or fast forward (e.g., skip forward in time) audio output of the audiobook file. 
     At  FIG.  6 C , text included in text indicator  604   l  includes text corresponding to speech at the third position of thumb  604   k  (e.g., time 0:41). Additionally, at  FIG.  6 C , electronic device  600  detects that user input  650   b  is maintained on display  602  (e.g., finger contact of user input  650   b  has not been broken or removed from screen  602 ). At  FIG.  6 D , user input  650   b  is no longer detected by electronic device  600  and a liftoff of contact is detected by electronic device  600 . As set forth above, electronic device  600  causes audio output of the audiobook file at the time corresponding to the third position of thumb  604   k  (e.g., the position of thumb  604   k  when liftoff of user input  650   b  is detected). Further, at  FIG.  6 D , electronic device  600  ceases display of text indicator  604   l  on media playback user interface  604 . 
     As discussed above,  FIGS.  6 A- 6 D  illustrate examples of text indicator  604   l  having a ticker-tape display of text corresponding to speech of the audio. In some embodiments, electronic device  600  is configured to switch between display of text in text indicator  604   l  as a ticker-tape format and as an entire structural component of speech format. For example, electronic device  600  detects user input on a settings user interface (e.g., a settings user interface of media application and/or a general settings user interface of a system application (e.g., an operating system) of electronic device  600 ) corresponding to selection of a particular format for displaying text indicator  604   l . As such, electronic device  600  displays text in text indicator  604   l  in accordance with the format selected (e.g., ticker tape or the entire structural component of speech). In some embodiments, electronic device  600  includes a default format for displaying text in text indicator  604   l , which cannot be adjusted and/or changed via user input. 
     At  FIG.  6 E , electronic device  600  displays text in text indicator using an entire structural component of speech format. As shown at  FIG.  6 E , electronic device  600  detects user input  650   c  (e.g., movement of a tap and hold gesture in the second direction and/or a tap and swipe gesture in the second direction) on thumb  604   k  of media playback user interface  604  while thumb  604   k  is at a fourth position. Accordingly, in response to detecting user input  650   c , electronic device  600  displays text indicator  604   l . At  FIG.  6 E , text indicator  604   l  includes text corresponding to an entire sentence of speech of the audio, where the entire sentence includes at least one word of speech of the audio at the time associated with the position of thumb  604   k . For example, audio output of at least a portion of the word “having” may occur at time 0:27 of the audiobook file. Accordingly, text indicator  604   l  displays the entire sentence that includes the word “having” (e.g., “I loved having three siblings.”). 
     At  FIG.  6 E , user input  650   c  includes movement in the second direction (e.g., a rightward direction). In response to detecting a movement portion of user input  650   c , electronic device  600  moves thumb  604   k  from the fourth position to a fifth position, as shown at  FIG.  6 F . At  FIG.  6 F , text indicator  604   l  includes text corresponding to an entire sentence of speech of the audio, where the entire sentence includes at least one word of speech of the audio at the time associated with the fifth position of thumb  604   k . For example, audio output of at least a portion of the word “pies” may occur at time 0:56 of the audiobook file. Accordingly, text indicator  604   l  displays the entire sentence that includes the word “pies” (e.g., “Joe would bake the best pies using whatever fruit was in season.”). 
     At  FIG.  6 G , electronic device  600  detects liftoff (e.g., a break of contact from a finger of a user) of user input  650   c . In response to detecting liftoff of user input  650   c , electronic device  600  ceases to display text indicator  604   l . As set forth above, in some embodiments, electronic device  600  resumes audio output of the audiobook file at the time associated with position of thumb  604   k  when liftoff of user input  650   c  is detected. At  FIG.  6 G , outputted audio  606  includes text representing speech of the audio output at the time associated with the position of thumb  604   k ; outputted audio  606 , and other audio indicators described herein, is not a part of the user interface and is provided in these figures to visually illustrate audio being outputted by device  600 . Specifically, outputted audio  606  emphasizes a portion of the text (e.g., the word “Joe”) indicating a particular portion of audio that is output at the time associated with the position of thumb  604   k . Accordingly, in response to detecting liftoff of user input  650   c , electronic device  600  causes playback of the audiobook file (e.g., via a speaker of electronic device  600  (e.g., an internal speaker) and/or via a speaker in communication with electronic device  600  (e.g., headphones connected to electronic device  600  via Bluetooth). 
     At  FIG.  6 G , electronic device  600  detects user input  650   d  (e.g., a right swipe gesture on audiobook indicator  604   a ). In response to detecting user input  650   d , electronic device  600  causes audio output of the audiobook file to skip forward in time (e.g., fast forward). In some embodiments, electronic device  600  causes audio output of the audiobook file to skip forward a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 34 seconds). Alternatively, electronic device  600  detects user input  650   e  (e.g., a left swipe gesture on audiobook indicator  604   a ). In response to detecting user input  650   e , electronic device  600  causes audio output of the audiobook file to skip backwards in time (e.g., rewind). In some embodiments, electronic device  600  causes audio output of the audiobook file to skip backwards by a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 34 seconds). In some embodiments, the predetermined amount of time is based on an amount of movement associated with user input  650   d  and/or  650   e  (e.g., a larger amount of movement of user input  650   d  and/or  650   e  increases the predetermined amount of time compared to a smaller amount of movement of user input  650   d  and/or  650   e ). In some embodiments, the predetermined amount of time is based on user selection, as discussed below with reference to  FIG.  6 N . 
     In some embodiments, user input  650   d  and/or  650   e  causes electronic device  600  to skip forward and/or backwards in time by a predefined structural component of speech of the audio (e.g., skip forward to a sentence and/or paragraph following a current sentence and/or paragraph and/or skip backwards to a preceding sentence and/or paragraph from the current sentence and/or paragraph). In some embodiments, electronic device  600  determines whether to skip forward and/or backwards by the predetermined amount of time or the predefined structural component based on user selection. For example, as set forth below with reference to  FIG.  6 N , electronic device  600  enables a user to select that user input  650   d  and/or  650   e  causes electronic device  600  to skip forward and/or backward in time by a sentence and/or a paragraph instead of a predetermined amount of time. 
     In response to user input  650   d , electronic device  600  causes movement of audiobook indicator  604   a  to visually indicate to a user of electronic device  600  that user input  650   d  was detected. For example, at  FIG.  6 H , audiobook indicator  604   a  moves from a center position on display  602  (e.g., as shown at  FIG.  6 G ) in a first direction (e.g., a rightward direction) toward an edge of display  602 . In some embodiments, a portion of audiobook indicator  604   a  moves off of display  602  in response to user input  650   d . A user of electronic device  600  may thus visually comprehend that user input  650   d  was detected by electronic device  600  and that audio output of the audiobook file has been skipped forward in time. 
     At  FIG.  6 I , electronic device  600  causes a position of thumb  604   k  to move from a first position (e.g., as shown at  FIGS.  6 G and  6 H ) to a second position. The second position of thumb  604   k  is associated with a later time of the audiobook file than the first position of thumb  604   k . As such, user input  650   d  causes playback of audio of the audiobook file to skip forward and begin playback of audio of the audiobook file at a time associated with the second position of thumb  604   k . At  FIG.  6 I , outputted audio  606  includes text representing speech of the audio output at the time associated with the second position of thumb  604   k . Specifically, outputted audio  606  emphasizes a portion of the text (e.g., the word “We”) indicating the portion of audio that is output at the particular time associated with the second position of thumb  604   k . Thus, electronic device  600  causes audio output of the audiobook file to skip forward, thereby playing back audio at a later time than the audio playing before electronic device detects user input  650   d.    
     In some embodiments, electronic device  600  is configured to cause audio output to skip forward in time and/or skip backwards in time via voice commands in addition to user gestures (e.g., tap gestures and/or swipe gestures). At  FIG.  6 J , electronic device  600  detects user input  650   f  (e.g., a voice command stating “Hey Assistant, Rewind”). In response to detecting user input  650   f , electronic device  600  causes playback of audio of the audiobook file to skip backward in time (e.g., because user input  650   f  including the voice command “Rewind”). At  FIG.  6 J , outputted audio  606  emphasizes a portion of the text (e.g., the word “would”) indicating the portion of audio that is output at the particular time associated with the position of the thumb  604   k.    
     At  FIG.  6 K , electronic device  600  causes a position of thumb  604   k  to move from the first position (e.g., as shown at  FIGS.  6 G and  6 K ) to a third position. The third position of thumb  604   k  is associated with an earlier time of the audiobook file than the first position of thumb  604   k . As such, user input  650   f  causes playback of audio of the audiobook file to skip backward and begin playback of audio of the audiobook file at a time associated with the third position of thumb  604   k . At  FIG.  6 K , outputted audio  606  includes text representing speech of the audio output at the time associated with the third position of thumb  604   k . Specifically, outputted audio  606  emphasizes a portion of the text (e.g., the word “We”) indicating the portion of audio output at the particular time associated with the third position of thumb  604   k . Thus, electronic device  600  causes audio output of the audiobook file to skip backwards in time, thereby playing back audio at an earlier time than the audio playing before electronic device detects user input  650   f.    
     At  FIG.  6 K , in response to detecting user input  650   f , electronic device  600  causes movement of audiobook indicator  604   a  in a second direction (e.g., in a leftward direction), opposite the first direction, indicating that electronic device  600  detected user input  650   f . Accordingly, electronic device  600  displays a visual indication that user input  650   f  was detected. Further, electronic device  600  visually indicates whether audio output is skipped forward (e.g., by moving audiobook indicator  604   a  in the first direction) or skipped backward (e.g., by moving audiobook indicator  604   a  in the second direction) in time, such that the user of electronic device  600  receives a visual confirmation of the user input  650   d ,  650   e , and/or  650   f.    
     At  FIG.  6 L , electronic device  600  continues playback of audio of the audiobook file as compared to  FIG.  6 K . Outputted audio  606  emphasizes a portion of the text (e.g., the word “playing”) indicating the portion of audio output at the particular time associated with a fourth position of thumb  604   k  (e.g., 0:44). At  FIG.  6 L , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  650   g  on pause user interface object  604   m  of audio control user interface objects  604   e . In response to detecting tap gesture  650   g , electronic device  600  ceases to cause audio output of the audiobook file (e.g., via a speaker of electronic device  600  (e.g., internal speakers) and/or via a speaker in communication with electronic device  600 ). 
     At  FIG.  6 M , outputted audio  606  is not displayed, thereby indicating that audio output has ceased in response to electronic device  600  detecting tap gesture  650   g . In addition, in response to detecting tap gesture  650   g , electronic device  600  ceases to display pause user interface object  604   m  and displays play user interface object  604   n  of audio control user interface objects  604   e . Display of pause user interface object  604   m  and play user interface object  604   n  visually indicates to user whether audio output of the audiobook file is occurring (e.g., when pause user interface object  604   m  is displayed) or not occurring (e.g., when play user interface object  604   n  is displayed). At  FIG.  6 M , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  650   h  on play user interface object  604   n . In response to detecting tap gesture  650   h , electronic device  600  causes resumption of audio output of the audiobook file. 
     In some embodiments, resumption of audio output of the audiobook file includes playing back audio at a time associated with a position of thumb  604   k  (e.g., resuming playback at any position within a structural component of speech (e.g., a sentence and/or a paragraph) of the audio at the time associated with the position of thumb  604   k ). For example, at  FIG.  6 L , electronic device  600  ceases audio output at a first time (e.g., 0:44) associated with a position of thumb  604   k  when electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  650   g . In response to detecting tap gesture  650   h  at  FIG.  6 M , electronic device  600  can resume playback of audio output at the first time (e.g., 0:44), such that the word “playing” of the speech of the audio is output (e.g., as shown by outputted audio  606  at  FIG.  6 L ). 
     In some embodiments, electronic device  600  resumes audio output at a beginning of a structural component (e.g., a sentence and/or a paragraph) of the speech of the audio instead of resuming audio output at the time associated with the position of thumb  604   k  when tap gesture  650   g  is detected. For example, in response to detecting tap gesture  650   h  at  FIG.  6 M , electronic device  600  may skip backward in time to a beginning of a structural component of speech of the audio, where the structural component of speech of the audio includes a word that would be output at the time associated with the position of thumb  604   k  when tap gesture  650   g  is detected. Thus, electronic device  600  resumes playback of audio at a second time (e.g., 0:42) that is before the first time (e.g., 0:44) to initiate audio output at the beginning of the structural component of speech of the audio. In other words, electronic device  600  resumes audio output at the second time (e.g., 0:42) instead of resuming audio output at the first time (e.g., 0:44) when tap gesture  650   g  was detected. Initiating playback of the audio output at the beginning of the structural component of speech of the audio may facilitate user comprehension of the audio. For example, a user may pause audio output (e.g., via tap gesture  650   g ) and resume audio output (e.g., via tap gesture  650   h ) after a prolonged interval (e.g., one hour and/or one day later). Accordingly, by resuming audio output at the beginning of the structural component of speech of the audio, a user receives additional context to refresh their memory related to the audio output at the time when tap gesture  650   g  was detected (e.g., when electronic device  600  caused audio output to pause). 
     As set forth above, electronic device  600  may skip forward and/or skip backward in time in response to user input  650   d ,  650   e , and/or  650   f  by a predetermined amount of time or by a predefined structural component of speech of the audio. For example, at  FIG.  6 N , electronic device  600  displays settings user interface  608 . Settings user interface  608  includes predetermined time area  610 , control options area  612 , and reset user interface object  608   a.    
     At  FIG.  6 N , predetermined time area  610  includes skip forward user interface object  610   a  and skip backward user interface object  610   b . As set forth above, in some embodiments, electronic device  600  causes audio output to skip forward and/or skip backwards by a predetermined period of time in response to user input  650   d ,  650   e , and/or  650   f  In response to detecting user input on skip forward user interface object  610   a , electronic device  600  enables a user to select a first predetermined period of time for skipping audio output forward in time (e.g., 15 seconds). Similarly, in response to detecting user input on skip backward user interface object  610   b , electronic device  600  enables a user to select a second predetermined period of time for skipping audio output backward in time (e.g., 15 seconds). In some embodiments, the first predetermined period of time and the second predetermined period of time are different from one another. 
     At  FIG.  6 N , control options area  612  includes user interface objects  612   a - 612   d  configured to adjust a setting for skipping audio output forward and/or backwards in time. First user interface object  612   a  corresponds to skipping audio output forward and/or backward in time by a predefined portion of the audiobook file (e.g., a chapter and/or a section of the audiobook file). Second user interface object  612   b  corresponds to skipping audio output forward and/or backward in time by the predetermined period of time (e.g., the first predetermined period of time associated with skip forward user interface object  610   a  and the second predetermined period of time associated with skip backward user interface object  610   b ). Third user interface object  612   c  corresponds to skipping audio output forward and/or backward in time by a first structural component of speech of the audio (e.g., a sentence). Fourth user interface object  612   d  corresponds to skipping audio output forward and/or backward in time by a second structural component of speech of the audio (e.g., a paragraph). Accordingly, electronic device  600  adjusts an amount by which audio is skipped forward and/or skipped backward (e.g., in response to user input  650   d ,  650   e , and/or  650   f ) based on user input corresponding to one of user interface objects  612   a - 612   d.    
     In some embodiments, settings user interface  608  is configured to adjust audio output settings for other devices (e.g., external devices) in addition to electronic device  600 . For example, electronic device  600  can be in communication with (e.g., wirelessly connected to) external devices that output and/or control output of audio of the audiobook file (e.g., by receiving a transmission from electronic device  600 ). Accordingly, the external devices are also configured to skip forward and/or backward in time based on the selected setting of settings user interface  608  in response to detecting user input (e.g., user input to the external device). 
       FIG.  7    is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying text corresponding to speech of an audio file using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method  700  is performed at a computer system (e.g.,  100 ,  300 ,  500 ,  600 ) with a display generation component and one or more input devices. Some operations in method  700  are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted. 
     As described below, method  700  provides an intuitive way for displaying text corresponding to speech of an audio file. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for accessing and/or finding a particular portion of the audio file, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to access a particular portion of the audio file faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. 
     In method  700 , the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) (e.g., a smart phone; a tablet computer; a personal computer; an electronic document reader) is in communication with a display generation component (e.g.,  602 ) (e.g., an integrated display, a connected (e.g., wirelessly) display) and one or more input devices (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchscreen); a mouse). The computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays ( 702 ), via the display generation component (e.g.,  602 ), a media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) (e.g., an interface of an audiobook playback application) that includes a set of one or more media playback control user interface objects (e.g.,  604   c ,  604   d ,  604   e ,  604   g ,  604   h ,  604   i ,  604   j , and/or  604   k ). The set of one or more media playback control user interface objects (e.g.,  604   c ,  604   d ,  604   e ,  604   g ,  604   h ,  604   i ,  604   j , and/or  604   k ) includes a selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ). In some embodiments, the selectable playback position indicator is displayed relative to (e.g., is positioned on) a graphical user interface object (e.g., a line; a trough of a scrubber bar) that depicts the total playback duration of the first media item. In some embodiments, the selectable playback position indicator is the thumb of a scrubber bar. 
     While the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) is configured to control playback of a first media item ( 704 ) (e.g., an audiobook; a vocal recording), the first media item includes audio content that includes speech (e.g., recorded human speech; synthesized speech), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects ( 706 ), via the one or more input devices, a first input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ) (e.g., a swipe gesture; a held mouse click with movement of the mouse) corresponding to the selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ). 
     While the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) is configured to control playback of a first media item ( 704 ) (e.g., an audiobook; a vocal recording), the first media item includes audio content that includes speech (e.g., recorded human speech; synthesized speech), and in response to detecting the first input ( 708 ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) moves ( 710 ) the selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ) from a first position that corresponds to a first playback time (e.g., the start; the end; a time measured in hours, minutes, and/or seconds) of the first media item to a second position that corresponds to a second playback time of the first media item. 
     While the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) is configured to control playback of a first media item ( 704 ) (e.g., an audiobook; a vocal recording), the first media item includes audio content that includes speech (e.g., recorded human speech; synthesized speech), and in response to detecting the first input ( 708 ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays ( 712 ), via the display generation component (e.g.,  602 ), first text (e.g.,  604   l ) representing speech of the audio content of the first media item (e.g., a transcription of the speech) that corresponds to the second playback time (e.g., the text includes at least speech at the precise second playback time; the text includes speech that is the closest detected speech to the second playback time (e.g., closest detected speech either before or after; closest detected speech after)). 
     Displaying the first text representing speech of the audio content of the first media item provides improved visual feedback to the user. For example, the user may comprehend a portion of the audio content visually, thus facilitating the user&#39;s ability to select a portion of the audio content for playback. Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. 
     In some embodiments, displaying the first text (e.g.,  604   l ) representing speech of the audio content of the first media item includes the computer system (e.g.,  602 ) overlaying the first text over one or more graphical elements (e.g.,  604   b ) (e.g., a playback control of the set of one or more media playback control user interface objects; a non-selectable graphical element) of the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ). In some embodiments, the first text is displayed in a pop-up window or bubble overlaid on the interface. 
     In some embodiments, the first text (e.g.,  604   l ) includes an entirety of the words of a grammatical structure of a first type (e.g., a sentence; independent clause; paragraph) that corresponds to the second playback time. 
     In some embodiments, the first text (e.g.,  604   l ) is a first instance of the grammatical structure of the first type (e.g., is a first sentence; first paragraph). Additionally, while the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays the selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ) at the second position and while the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays the first text (e.g.,  604   l ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a second user input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ) (e.g., continuation of the first input; an input distinct from the first input) corresponding to the selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ). In response to detecting the second user input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) moves the selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ) from the second position to a third position that corresponds to a third playback time of the first media item that does not correspond to speech that is included in the first instance of the grammatical structure of the first type (e.g., the second playback time corresponds to a first sentence and the third playback time corresponds to a different sentence). In response to detecting the second user input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays, via the display generation component (e.g.,  602 ), second text (e.g.,  604   l ) representing speech of the audio content of the first media item (e.g., a transcription of the speech) that includes an entirety of the words of a second instance of the grammatical structure of the first type. The second instance is adjacent to the first instance in the speech included in the audio content (e.g., the next sentence or the previous sentence from the sentence of the first text). In some embodiments, once the playback indicator is moved beyond a time associated with the currently displayed sentence (e.g., the first text), the previous or next sentence is displayed. 
     In some embodiments, the first text (e.g.,  604   l ) is displayed as part of a scrolling set of text that represents speech of the audio content of the first media item that corresponds to the period between (e.g., that includes and/or spans the first and second playback times) the first playback time and the second playback time. 
     In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the media playback user interface (e.g.,  604 ) is currently configured (e.g., configured via a settings user interface) to display text representing speech of the audio content in a first manner, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays the first text (e.g.,  604   l ) as a plurality of words of a grammatical structure of a second type (e.g., different than the first type; the same as the first type) that corresponds to the second playback time. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the media playback user interface (e.g.,  604 ) is currently configured to display text representing speech of the audio content in a second manner, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays the first text (e.g.,  604   l ) as part of a scrolling set of text that represents speech of the audio content of the first media item that corresponds to the period between the first playback time and the second playback time. 
     In some embodiments, the first user input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ) includes movement of a touch and hold gesture on the selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ). 
     In some embodiments, while the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays the selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ) at the second position and while the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays the first text (e.g.,  604   l ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a fourth user input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ) (e.g., continuation of the first input; an input distinct from the first input) corresponding to the selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ). In response to the fourth user input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) moves the selectable playback position indicator (e.g.,  604   k ) to a fourth position that corresponds to a fourth playback time of the first media item. In response to the fourth user input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ) and in accordance with a determination that the fourth playback time precedes (e.g., is earlier in the sequential playback of the first media item) the second playback time, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays third text (e.g.,  604   l ) representing speech of the audio content of the first media item that precedes the speech of the audio content of the first media item that is represented by the first text (e.g.,  604   l ). In response to the fourth user input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ) and in accordance with a determination that the fourth playback time succeeds (e.g., is later in the sequential playback of the first media item) the second playback time, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays fourth text (e.g.,  604   l ) representing speech of the audio content of the first media item that succeeds the speech of the audio content of the first media item that is represented by the first text (e.g.,  604   l ). In some embodiments, the third text (e.g.,  604   l ) represents speech that is immediately adjacent to the speech represented by the first text (e.g.,  604   l ). In some embodiments, the third text (e.g.,  604   l ) represents speech that corresponds to the fourth playback time that is not adjacent to the speech represented by the first text (e.g.,  604   l ) (e.g., there is intervening speech between the speech represented by the third and first texts). 
     In some embodiments, the first user input (e.g.,  650   a ,  650   b , and/or  650   c ) includes a sustained input component (e.g., a contact on a touch-sensitive surface; clicking and holding a mouse button). In some embodiments, the sustained input component of the first input persists after the first input is completed (e.g., the first input is swipe gesture where the contact is maintained after movement ceases). In addition, while computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays the first text (e.g.,  604   l ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects that the sustained input component has ceased (e.g., that contact has been lifted; that the mouse button is no longer being held). In response to detecting that the sustained input component has ceased, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) ceases to display the first text (e.g.,  604   l ). 
     In some embodiments, displaying the first text (e.g.,  604   l ) includes the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displaying an indication of the second playback time. 
     In some embodiments, the first media item does not include pre-generated text data corresponding to speech of the audio content. In some embodiments, the first media item is received at the computer system (e.g., downloaded) without text data corresponding to speech of the audio content included in the media item or received in conjunction with the media item. In some embodiments, the first text is determined (e.g., generated for display) using one or more speech-to-text functions directly from the audio content of the first media item. 
     Displaying the first text representing speech of the audio content of the first media item even though the first media item does not include pre-generated text data provides improved visual feedback to the user. For example, the user may comprehend a portion of the audio content visually, thus facilitating the user&#39;s ability to select a portion of the audio content for playback. Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. 
     In some embodiments, while computer system (e.g.,  600 ) outputs a first portion of audio content of the first media item (e.g., while playing the first media item), the first portion of audio content includes speech that is part of a first instance of a grammatical structure of a third type (e.g., a sentence; independent clause; paragraph) (e.g., different than the first type and/or the second type; the same as the first type and/or the second type), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a fifth user input (e.g.,  650   d ,  650   e , and/or  650   f ) (e.g., an input corresponding to a request to skip back or skip ahead in the first media item). In some embodiments, the first portion of audio content includes speech that is part of a first sentence. In response to the fifth user input (e.g.,  650   d ,  650   e , and/or  650   f ) and in accordance with a determination that a second instance of the grammatical structure of the third type starts at a fifth playback time of the first media item, the second instance of the grammatical structure of the third type is adjacent to the first instance of the grammatical structure of the third type in the speech included in the audio content (e.g., the next sentence or the previous sentence from the sentence that was being outputted), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) outputs (e.g., by skipping ahead or back) a second portion of the audio content of the first media item that starts at the fifth playback time. In response to the fifth user input (e.g.,  650   d ,  650   e , and/or  650   f ) and in accordance with a determination that the second instance of the grammatical structure of the third type starts at a sixth playback time of the first media item, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) outputs a third portion of the audio content of the first media item that starts at the sixth playback time. In some embodiments, while playing the first media item, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) skips ahead or rewinds playback of audio that includes speech by a predefined structural component of the speech (e.g., a sentence or a paragraph). 
     In some embodiments, while the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) outputs audio content of the first media item (e.g., while playing the first media item) that includes speech that is part of a first instance of a grammatical structure of a fourth type (e.g., a sentence; independent clause; paragraph) (e.g., different than the first, second, and/or third type; the same as the first, second, and/or third type), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a sixth user input (e.g.,  650   g ) (e.g., an input corresponding to a request to pause playback of the first media item). In some embodiments, the audio content of the first media item includes speech that is part of a first sentence. In response to the sixth user input (e.g.,  650   g ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) pauses output of the audio content of the first media item. After pausing output of the audio content of the first media item, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a seventh user input (e.g.,  650   h ) (e.g., an input corresponding to a request to resume output). In response to detecting the seventh user input (e.g.,  650   h ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) resumes output of the audio content of the first media item at a seventh playback time that includes (e.g., matches) speech that is at the start of the first instance of the grammatical structure of the fourth type. In some embodiments, after pausing playback, resumption of playback starts from the beginning of the current structural component of the speech in the audio (e.g., resuming playback at the start of a sentence after pausing in the middle of the sentence). 
     In some embodiments, the grammatical structure of the third type is a user-selectable type of grammatical structure. In some embodiments, the user can configure the type of grammatical structure (e.g., sentence, paragraph) that is used when skipping ahead or back. 
     In some embodiments, the grammatical structure of the third type is a sentence or a paragraph. 
     In some embodiments, the user selected grammatical structure (e.g., sentence or paragraph) is transmitted to one or more external computer systems and used by such systems to control the unit of skipping forward or backwards while playing back media items (e.g., while playing back the first media item). 
     In some embodiments, the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) includes a graphical representation of the first media item (e.g.,  604   a ) (e.g., a book cover) and the fifth user input is a swipe gesture (e.g.,  650   d  and/or  650   e ) corresponding to the graphical representation of the first media item (e.g.,  604   a ). 
     In some embodiments, the fifth user input is a voice input (e.g.,  650   f ) (e.g., a spoken command) detected by one or more microphones in connection with the computer system (e.g.,  600 ). 
     Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method  700  (e.g.,  FIG.  7   ) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below/above. For example, methods  900  and  1100  optionally include one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method  700 . For example, a user may wish to view text corresponding to speech of the audio content in order to bookmark a specific portion of an audio file. As another example, a user may wish to search for a portion of an audio file that is proximate to a particular portion of the audio file and view the text corresponding to speech of the audio content to ultimately find the particular portion of the audio file. For brevity, these details are not repeated below. 
       FIGS.  8 A- 8 I  illustrate exemplary user interfaces for managing bookmarks of an audio file, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in  FIG.  9   . 
       FIG.  8 A  illustrates electronic device  600  with display  602 . At  FIG.  8 A , electronic device  600  displays, on display  602 , media playback user interface  604  associated with the media application (e.g., a books application, an audiobooks application) of electronic device  600 . 
     A user of electronic device  600  may wish to bookmark portions of an audio file configured to be played back by media playback user interface  604 . For example, a user may wish to cause playback of an audio file at a particular portion of the audio file that includes specific dialogue and/or lyrics. Media playback user interface  604  includes features that facilitate a user&#39;s ability to find and cause playback of particular portions of an audio file that are created and/or stored by electronic device  600 . 
     At  FIG.  8 A , media playback user interface  604  controls playback of audio of an audiobook file entitled “The Autobiography of John Appleseed.” At  FIG.  8 A , outputted audio  606  illustrates text corresponding to audio currently being output by electronic device  600  (e.g., via internal speakers of electronic device  600  and/or external speakers in communication with electronic device  600 ). For example, outputted audio  606  indicates that the word “siblings” corresponding to speech of the audio is output at a first time (e.g., 0:27) of the audiobook file. In some embodiments, audio output by electronic device  600  may be paused at the first time (e.g., via detecting user input on audio control user interface objects  604   e  at the first time). 
     At  FIG.  8 A , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  850   a  on settings user interface object  604   c . In response to detecting tap gesture  850   a  on settings user interface object  604   c , electronic device  600  displays settings user interface  802 , as shown at  FIG.  8 B . Alternatively, electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  850   b  on table of contents user interface object  604   j . In response to detecting tap gesture  850   b  on table of contents user interface object  604   j , electronic device displays table of contents user interface  804 , as shown at  FIG.  8 C . 
     At  FIG.  8 B , settings user interface  802  is displayed as partially overlapping (e.g., partially overlaid on) media playback user interface  604 . Settings user interface  802  includes audiobook indicator  802   a  (e.g., text indicating a title and/or author of an audiobook file, such as “The Autobiography of John . . . John Appleseed,” and/or a visual indication of a cover of the audiobook), first command area  806 , and second command area  808 . At  FIG.  8 B , first command area  806  includes copy user interface object  806   a  for copying a link to the audiobook file and share audiobook user interface object  806   b  for initiating a process for sending information associated with the audiobook file to an external device. Additionally, second command area  808  includes download user interface object  808   a , add bookmark user interface object  808   b , add to collection user interface object  808   c , rate and review user interface object  808   d , and/or suggestions user interface object  808   e.    
     At  FIG.  8 B , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  850   c  on add bookmark user interface object  808   b . In response to detecting tap gesture  850   c , electronic device  600  initiates a process to create a bookmark at a time of the audiobook file when tap gesture  850   c  is detected. In some embodiments, electronic device  600  initiates the process to create a bookmark at the time of the audiobook file when a voice command is detected (e.g., “Hey Assistant, Create a Bookmark”). 
     In response to tap gesture  850   c  and/or voice command, the electronic device  600  creates a bookmark that includes information and/or data corresponding to the audiobook file at the time when tap gesture  850   c  (or voice command) is detected. In some embodiments, the information and/or data of the bookmark includes information and/or data associated with the audiobook file currently being played back via media playback user interface  604  (e.g., a title of the audiobook file and/or a location of data corresponding to audiobook file in media application), text corresponding to speech of the audio of the audiobook file at and/or near the time when tap gesture  850   c  is detected, a time stamp of the time in the audiobook file when tap gesture  850   c  is detected, data associated with a portion of the audiobook file at the time when tap gesture  850   c  is detected (e.g., a chapter title and/or section title of the audiobook file), and/or location information for the particular portion of the audiobook file currently being played back at the time when tap gesture  650   c  is detected (e.g., data storage location information). 
     A user that creates a bookmark via tap gesture  850   c  may wish to access the bookmark and cause electronic device  600  to output audio of the audiobook file at the time associated with the bookmark (e.g., a time of the audiobook file at which tap gesture  850   c  was detected). Accordingly, electronic device  600  includes bookmark user interface  810  that displays all bookmarks created and/or stored for a particular audiobook file (e.g., the currently selected and/or currently playing audiobook file). Electronic device  600  displays bookmark user interface  810  in response to tap gesture  850   b  on table of contents user interface object  604   j  and tap gesture  850   d  on bookmarks tab  804   a  on table of contents user interface  804 . 
     At  FIG.  8 C , electronic device  600  displays table of contents user interface  804  in response to tap gesture  850   b . Table of contents user interface  804  includes audiobook indicator  804   b , contents tab  804   c , bookmarks tab  804   a , notes tab  804   d , and contents user interface objects  804   e - 804   n . At  FIG.  8 C , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  850   d  on bookmarks tab  804   a . In response to detecting tap gesture  850   d , electronic device  600  displays bookmark user interface  810 , as shown at  FIG.  8 D . In some embodiments, electronic device  600  displays bookmark user interface  810  in response to a voice command (e.g., “Hey Assistant, Open Bookmarks”). 
     At  FIG.  8 D , bookmark user interface  810  includes audiobook indicator  810   a , first bookmark user interface object  810   b , second bookmark user interface object  810   c , third bookmark user interface object  810   d , and fourth bookmark user interface object  810   e . As set forth above, tap gesture  850   c  on add bookmark user interface object  808   b  causes electronic device  600  to initiate a process for creating a bookmark associated with the audiobook file. Second bookmark user interface object  810   c  corresponds to the bookmark created in response to tap gesture  850   c.    
     At  FIG.  8 D , second bookmark user interface object  810   c  includes information identifying the bookmark created in response to tap gesture  850   c . Second user interface object  810   c  includes audiobook portion indicator  812  (e.g., “Chapter 1: Childhood”), time stamp  814 , and text  816  corresponding to speech of the audio at and/or near the time associated with the bookmark (e.g., the time when tap gesture  850   c  is detected). 
     Text  816  of the second bookmark user interface object  810   c  includes text corresponding to speech of the audio at and/or near the time when electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  850   c . At  FIG.  8 D , text  816  includes a visual indication of speech of the audio that is configured to be output at the time associated with bookmark (e.g., 0:26 of Chapter 1). In some embodiments, text  816  displays words that precede and/or follow a particular word of speech of the audio that is configured to be output at the time associated with the bookmark. For example, tap gesture  850   c  is detected by electronic device at time 0:27 (e.g., as shown at  FIGS.  8 A and  8 B ). At time 0:27, the word “siblings” corresponding to speech of the audio is output, as indicated by outputted audio  606  at  FIG.  8 A . Therefore, text  816  of second bookmark user interface object  810   c  includes the word “siblings” as well as words preceding (e.g., “I grew up with three”) and words following (e.g., “I had two older brothers and one . . . ”) the word “sibling.” 
     At  FIG.  8 D , time stamp  814  indicates a time for the bookmark that is earlier than the time at which tap gesture  850   c  is detected. For example, at  FIG.  8 A , the current time of playback of the audiobook file is at 0:27. As shown at  FIG.  8 A , outputted audio  606  illustrates the speech of the audio currently being output. Specifically, outputted audio  606  indicates that the word “siblings” is the current speech of the audio at time 0:27 (e.g., the current speech of the audio being played at time 0:27). The word “siblings” is in the middle of the sentence “I grew up with three siblings, I had two older brothers and one younger sister.” Accordingly, time stamp  814  (e.g., 0:26) is associated with a time of the audiobook file that the word “I,” at the beginning of the sentence that includes the word “siblings,” is output. Thus, electronic device  600  initiates the process of creating a bookmark for a time associated with the beginning of a sentence that includes the word associated with the time of the audiobook file when tap gesture  850   c  is detected. 
     At  FIG.  8 D , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  850   e  on second bookmark user interface object  810   c . In response to detecting tap gesture  850   e , electronic device  600  causes playback of the audiobook file at the time corresponding to the bookmark of second bookmark user interface object  810   c  (e.g., at time 0:26), as shown at  FIG.  8 E . 
     At  FIG.  8 E , electronic device  600  displays media playback user interface  604 . Outputted audio  606  indicates that the word “I” corresponding to speech of the audio is output at time 0:26. Thus, selection of second bookmark user interface object  810   c  causes output of audio at the beginning of a structural component (e.g., a sentence or a paragraph) of speech of the audio. In some embodiments, selection of second bookmark user interface object  810   c  causes electronic device  600  to initiate output at the beginning of the structural component of speech of the audio regardless of when tap gesture  650   c  initiating creation of the bookmark occurs. In other words, electronic device  600  initiates playback of audio at a time associated with a beginning of the structural component in response to selection of second bookmark user interface object  810   c  even when tap gesture  650   c  was detected at a time associated with the middle of the structural component. 
     Initiating playback of the audio at the beginning of the structural component facilitates user comprehension of the audio by providing the user additional context related to the audio. For example, beginning playback of the audio in the middle of a sentence may cause confusion to the user because the user does not hear the entire context of the audio. Additionally, the user may select second bookmark user interface object  810   c  after pausing or otherwise not listening to the audio for a prolonged period of time (e.g., one day, one week, one month). As such, providing the additional context of the beginning of the structural component may refresh the user&#39;s memory and enable the user to better understand the portion of audio corresponding to the bookmark of second bookmark user interface object  810   c.    
     At  FIG.  8 E , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  850   f  on table of contents user interface object  604   j . In response to detecting tap gesture  850   f , electronic device displays table of contents user interface  804 , as shown at  FIG.  8 C . Further, electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  850   g  on notes tab  804   d , as shown at  FIG.  8 C . In response to detecting tap gesture  850   g , electronic device  600  displays notes user interface  818 , as shown at  FIG.  8 F . In some embodiments, electronic device  600  displays notes user interface  818  in response to a voice command (e.g., “Hey Assistant, Open Notes”). 
     At  FIG.  8 F , notes user interface  818  includes audiobook indicator  818   a , first note user interface object  818   b , and second note user interface object  818   c . In some embodiments, electronic device  600  causes a note to be displayed in notes user interface  818  via user input (e.g., a tap and hold gesture) on one of bookmark user interface objects  810   b - 810   e . In response to the user input, electronic device  600  enables the user to input a custom note (e.g., a note including alphanumeric characters, emoji characters, images, and/or videos input via a keyboard and/or selectable options) corresponding to the same portion of the audiobook file as the selected one of the bookmark user interface objects  810   b - 810   e . In some embodiments, electronic device causes a note to be displayed in notes user interface  818  via user input (e.g., a voice command) that electronic device  600  detects and recognizes as a command for adding a new note. 
     At  FIG.  8 F , first note user interface object  818   b  corresponds to time 0:08 of the audiobook file. First note user interface object  818   b  includes time stamp  820  (e.g., corresponding to a time of the audiobook file for which the note relates), time indicator  822  (e.g., corresponding to a time when note was created, such as “Today”), text indicator  824  (e.g., text corresponding to speech of the audio at the time of the audiobook file associated with time stamp  820 ), and note indicator  826  (e.g., text, images, and/or videos input by the user). 
     Similar to bookmarks, a user may wish to listen to the audio associated with a note in notes user interface  818 . Accordingly, electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  850   h  on first note user interface object  818   b , as shown at  FIG.  8 F . In response to tap gesture  850   h , electronic device  600  causes audio output of the audiobook at the time associated with first note user interface object  818   b  (e.g., time 0:08). 
     At  FIG.  8 G , electronic device  600  causes audio to be played back at the time associated with first note user interface object  818   b . Outputted audio  606  of  FIG.  8 G  illustrates text corresponding to speech of the audio at the time associated with first note user interface object  818   b  (e.g., “An inspiration to many, Mom always saw the best in others.”). In some embodiments, electronic device  600  initiates audio output at the beginning of a structural component of the speech of the audio. In other words, even when the note associated with first note user interface object  818   b  is created at a time when speech of the audio is in the middle of the structural component, electronic device  600  initiates audio output at the beginning of the structural component. As set forth above, initiating audio output at the beginning of the structural component may facilitate user comprehension of the audio related to first note user interface object  818   b.    
     At  FIG.  8 G , electronic device  600  detects user input  850   i  (e.g., an upward swipe gesture) on media playback user interface  604 . In some embodiments, user input  850   i  is on thumb  604   k  of media playback user interface  604 . In some embodiments, user input  850   i  is received at any position on media playback user interface  604 . In response to detecting user input  850   i , electronic device  600  initiates a process for creating a bookmark. 
     At  FIG.  8 H , in response to detecting user input  850   i , electronic device  600  displays notification  828  indicating that the process for creating a bookmark has been initiated at the time of audiobook file when user input  850   i  is detected (e.g., time 0:08). In some embodiments, electronic device  600  ceases to display notification  828  after a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 second, 5 seconds). In some embodiments, electronic device  600  ceases to display notification  828  in response to user input on media playback user interface  604 . 
     In some embodiments, notification  828  includes undo user interface object  828   a , as shown at  FIG.  8 H . In response to detecting user input (e.g., a tap gesture) on undo user interface object  828   a , electronic device  600  terminates the process for creating the bookmark and does not add a new bookmark user interface object to bookmark user interface  810 . Therefore, a user that inadvertently inputs user input  850   i  may cancel the creation of a bookmark, thereby preventing a bookmark user interface object to be included in bookmark user interface  810  that was not intended by the user. In the absence of user input on undo user interface object  828   a , electronic device  600  creates a bookmark and adds a bookmark user interface object to bookmark user interface  810  at a time of the audiobook file when user input  850   i  was detected (e.g., time 0:08). 
     Turning now to  FIG.  8 I , electronic device  600  may also initiate the process for creating a bookmark in response to voice commands. At  FIG.  8 I , electronic device detects voice command  850   j  (e.g., “Hey Assistant, Add a Bookmark”). In response to detecting voice command  850   j , electronic device  600  displays notification  828  on media playback user interface  604  indicating that electronic device  600  detected voice command  850   j  and initiated the process for creating a bookmark. As set forth above, in some embodiments, notification  828  includes undo user interface object  828   a  that, when selected, causes electronic device  600  to terminate creation of the bookmark. 
       FIG.  9    is a flow diagram illustrating a method for managing bookmarks of an audio file using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method  900  is performed at a computer system (e.g.,  100 ,  300 ,  500 ,  600 ) with a display generation component and one or more input devices. Some operations in method  900  are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted. 
     As described below, method  900  provides an intuitive way for managing bookmarks of an audio file. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for accessing and/or finding a particular portion of the audio file, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to access a particular portion of the audio file faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. 
     In method  900 , the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) (e.g., a smart phone; a tablet computer; a personal computer; an electronic document reader) is in communication with a display generation component (e.g.,  602 ) (e.g., an integrated display, a connected (e.g., wirelessly) display) and one or more input devices (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchscreen); a mouse). The computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays ( 902 ), via the display generation component, a media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) (e.g., an interface of an audiobook playback application) (e.g., that includes a set of one or more media playback control user interface objects). 
     While the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) is configured to control playback of a first media item ( 904 ) (e.g., an audiobook; a vocal recording), the first media item includes audio content that includes speech (e.g., recorded human speech; synthesized speech), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays ( 906 ), via the display generation component (e.g.,  602 ), a selectable playback bookmark indicator (e.g.,  810   b ,  810   c ,  810   d , and/or  810   e ). While the media playback interface is configured to control playback of the first media item ( 904 ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects ( 908 ), via the one or more input devices, a first user input (e.g.,  850   e ) corresponding to the selectable playback bookmark indicator (e.g.,  810   b ,  810   c ,  810   d , and/or  810   e ). In some embodiments, the selectable playback bookmark indicator (e.g.,  810   b ,  810   c ,  810   d , and/or  810   e ) is one of a plurality of selectable playback position bookmark indicators. 
     In response to detecting the first user input (e.g.,  850   e ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) outputs audio content of the first media item from a first playback time (a time measured in hours, minutes, and/or seconds within the overall playback time of the first media item) that corresponds to (e.g., matches) speech that is at a start of a first instance of a grammatical structure of a first type (e.g., a sentence; a paragraph). The grammatical structure of the first type includes a plurality of words. In some embodiments, outputting the audio content includes initiating output of audio content while no audio is being outputted. In some embodiments, outputting the audio content includes skipping to the first playback time, while audio was already being outputted. 
     Outputting audio content of the first media item from a first playback time that corresponds to speech that is at a start of a first instance of a grammatical structure provides improved audio feedback to the user. For example, the start of the first instance of the grammatical structure enables the user to obtain additional context for the remaining portion of the grammatical structure. Providing improved audio feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. 
     In some embodiments, prior to the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displaying the selectable playback bookmark indicator (e.g.,  810   b ,  810   c ,  810   d , and/or  810   e ) and while the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) outputs audio content of the first media item at a second playback time or while the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) is configured to output audio content of the first media item at the second playback time (e.g., while playback is paused at the second playback time), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a second user input (e.g., an input corresponding to a request to create a bookmark). In response to detecting the second user input, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) creates a playback bookmark that corresponds to the selectable playback bookmark indicator (e.g.,  810   b ,  810   c ,  810   d , and/or  810   e ). The second playback time is different from the first playback time. In some embodiments, the second playback time corresponds to speech that is a part of the first instance of the grammatical structure of the first type other than the start. 
     In some embodiments, the second user input includes a flick gesture (e.g.,  850   i ) (e.g., a contact followed by a quick movement and lift-off of the contact). In some embodiments, the second user input includes selection of a selectable bookmark creation user interface object. 
     Creating a playback bookmark in response to detecting the flick gesture reduces the number of inputs required by a user. Reducing the number of inputs needed enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. 
     In some embodiments, the first user input is a voice input (e.g., a spoken command) detected by one or more microphones in connection with the computer system (e.g.,  600 ). 
     In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays the selectable playback bookmark indicator (e.g.,  810   b ,  810   c ,  810   d , and/or  810   e ) by displaying text (e.g.,  816 ) corresponding to the first playback time (e.g., at the first playback time; text of a sentence that starts at the first playback time). 
     Displaying the selectable playback bookmark indicator having text corresponding to the first playback time provides improved visual feedback to the user. For example, a user may easily view the text and determine which bookmark they are seeking, thereby reducing a time that the user spends searching for a particular bookmark. Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. 
     In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a third user input, wherein the third user input is a voice input (e.g., a spoken command) detected by one or more microphones in connection with the computer system. In response to detecting the third user input, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) creates a note (e.g., a text string) corresponding to the selectable playback bookmark indicator (e.g.,  810   b ,  810   c ,  810   d , and/or  810   e ). 
     In some embodiments, the selectable playback bookmark indicator (e.g.,  810   b ,  810   c ,  810   d , and/or  810   e ) is displayed in a first portion (e.g.,  810 ) of the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ). In addition, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays, via the display generation component (e.g.,  602 ), a note user interface object (e.g.,  818   b  and/or  818   c ) that includes user-entered text (e.g.,  826 ) that corresponds to the first media item. The note user interface object (e.g.,  818   b  and/or  818   c ) is displayed in a second portion (e.g.,  818 ) of the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) that is visibly distinct from the first portion (e.g.,  810 ) of the media playback interface (e.g.,  604 ) (e.g., in a different tab or different interface page or screen of the media playback interface). 
     In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a fourth user input (e.g.,  850   h ) corresponding to the note user interface object (e.g.,  818   b  and/or  818   c ). In response to detecting the fourth user input (e.g.,  850   h ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) outputs audio content of the first media item from a third playback time (a time measured in hours, minutes, and/or seconds within the overall playback time of the first media item) that corresponds to (e.g., matches) speech that is at the start of a first instance of a grammatical structure of a second type (e.g., a sentence; a paragraph) (e.g., that is different than the first type; that is the same as the first type). The grammatical structure of the second type includes a plurality of words. In some embodiments, outputting the audio content includes initiating output of audio content while no audio is being outputted. In some embodiments, outputting the audio content includes skipping to the third playback time, while audio was already being outputted. 
     In some embodiments, the first media item does not include pre-generated text data corresponding to speech of the audio content. In some embodiments, the first media item is received at the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) (e.g., downloaded) without text data corresponding to speech of the audio content included in the media item or received in conjunction with the media item. In some embodiments, the first text is determined (e.g., generated for display) using one or more speech-to-text functions directly from the audio content of the first media item. 
     Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method  900  (e.g.,  FIG.  9   ) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below/above. For example, methods  700  and  1100  optionally include one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method  900 . 
       FIGS.  10 A- 10 E  illustrate exemplary user interfaces for searching for text corresponding to speech of an audio file, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in  FIG.  11   . 
       FIG.  10 A  illustrates electronic device  600  (e.g., a smartphone) with display  602  (e.g., touch screen). At  FIG.  10 A , electronic device  600  displays, on display  602 , media playback user interface  604  associated with the media application (e.g., a books application, an audiobooks application) of electronic device  600 . 
     A user of electronic device  600  may wish to search for a specific portion of an audio file configured to be played back via media playback user interface  604 . For example, a user may wish to find and cause playback of an audio file at a particular portion of the audio file that includes specific dialogue and/or lyrics. Media playback user interface  604  includes features that facilitate a user&#39;s ability to find and cause playback of particular portions of an audio file via a search for text of speech of the audio associated with the audio file. 
     In some embodiments, audio files accessible by electronic device  600  do not include pre-generated text data corresponding to the speech of the audio files. In other words, the audio files do not include metadata, embedded data, and/or any associated data including the text of the speech. As such, electronic device  600  (or an external device in communication with electronic device  600 ) performs speech recognition (e.g., transcription) of the audio files to generate text corresponding to speech in the audio files. In some embodiments, speech recognition is performed in real time (e.g., while electronic device  600  outputs audio of an audio file), at the time when a particular audio file is selected for control via media playback user interface  604 , and/or at the time when an audio file is stored on electronic device  600  (e.g., in memory of electronic device  600  and/or in a cloud). 
     At  FIG.  10 A , media playback user interface  604  controls playback of audio of an audiobook file (e.g., an audiobook file corresponding to an audiobook entitled “The Autobiography of John Appleseed”). At  FIG.  10 A , media playback user interface  604  includes audiobook indicator  604   a  (e.g., an image of a book cover of an audiobook associated with the audiobook file, text identifying the audiobook file, and/or another visual indication of the audiobook), now playing indicator  604   b  (e.g., text indicating a chapter or portion of the selected audiobook file (e.g., the audiobook file currently playing) and/or text indicating a title of the selected audiobook file), settings user interface object  604   c , scrubber bar  604   d , audio control user interface objects  604   e , volume control user interface object  604   f , audio speed user interface object  604   g , sleep setting user interface object  604   h , share audio user interface object  604   i , table of contents user interface object  604   j , and/or search user interface object  604   o.    
     At  FIG.  10 A , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  1050   a  on search user interface object  604   o . In response to detecting tap gesture  1050   a  on search user interface object  604   o , electronic device  600  displays search user interface  1002 , as shown at  FIG.  10 B . 
     At  FIG.  10 B , search user interface  1002  includes search bar  1002   a  and keyboard  1002   b . At  FIG.  10 B , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  1050   b  on search bar  1002   a . In response to detecting tap gesture  1050   b , electronic device  600  enables a user to input a search term or text into search bar  1002   a . For example, after detecting tap gesture  1050   b , electronic device  600  detects one or more user inputs (e.g., tap gestures and/or swipe gestures) on keyboard  1002   b  and displays text in search bar  1002   a  that corresponds to characters selected on keyboard  1002   b.    
     At  FIG.  10 C , electronic device  600  displays search term  1002   c  (e.g., “Joe”). Accordingly, after detecting tap gesture  1050   b , electronic device  600  detects user inputs on keyboard  1002   b  corresponding to the characters “J,” “O”, and “E.” 
     Additionally, at  FIG.  10 C , electronic device  600  displays search results associated with search term  1002   c  in search results area  1004 . Search results area  1004  includes first result user interface object  1004   a , second result user interface object  1004   b , third result user interface object  1004   c , fourth result user interface object  1004   d , and fifth result user interface object  1004   e  (e.g., a partial view of fifth result user interface object  1004   e ). Each of the search results displayed in search result area  1004  include search term  1002   c . Further, each result user interface object  1004   a - 1004   e  emphasizes search term  1002   c  as bolded text. Emphasizing search term  1002   c  in each result user interface object  1004   a - 1004   e  enables a user to quickly identify search term  1002   c  within the search results and determine which search result corresponds to the desired portion of the audiobook file that the user is seeking. 
     In some embodiments, electronic device  600  performs a search of text corresponding to speech of audio of the audiobook file using the text generated via speech recognition. Accordingly, electronic device  600  compares search term  1002   c  to text corresponding to speech of the audio of the audiobook file to determine search results represented by result user interface objects  1004   a - 1004   e . In some embodiments, electronic device  600  causes speech recognition to be performed in response to detecting tap gesture  1050   b  and/or in response to detecting a first user input on keyboard  1002   b . In some embodiments, electronic device  600  updates search results represented by result user interface objects as additional user inputs are detected by electronic device  600  on keyboard  1002   b.    
     At  FIG.  10 C , result user interface objects  1004   a - 1004   e  include additional information that enables a user to quickly identify which search result corresponds to the desired portion of the audiobook file. At  FIG.  10 C , result user interface objects  1004   a - 1004   e  each include time indicator  1006  (e.g., a time associated with audio output of the search term and/or a time associated with a beginning of a structural component (e.g., a sentence or a paragraph) including the search term) and/or portion indicator  1008  (e.g., text indicating the chapter and/or section of the audiobook file including the search term). In some embodiments, time indicator  1006  includes a time associated with a portion of the audiobook file when search term  1002   c  corresponding to speech of the audio is output. In some embodiments, time indicator includes a time associated with a portion of the audiobook file when a beginning of a structural component (e.g., a sentence or paragraph) that includes search term  1002   c  corresponding to speech of the audio is output. Time indicator  1006  provides user with an indication as to when (e.g., a time at or near) in the audiobook file search term  1002   c  occurs. Additionally, portion indicator  1008  provides user with an indication as to a portion (e.g., a chapter and/or section) of the audiobook file where search term  1002   c  occurs. 
     Further, result user interface objects  1004   a - 1004   e  include accompanying text  1010  in addition to search term  1002   c . Accompanying text  1010  includes text (e.g., words) corresponding to speech of the audio near the time of the audiobook file associated with search term  1002   c  (e.g., a time of the audiobook file when search term  1002   c  corresponding to speech of audio is output by electronic device). Accordingly, accompanying text  1010  includes words that precede and/or follow search term  1002   c  in speech of the audio of the audiobook file. Accompanying text  1010  may thus display additional context for search term  1002   c , such that the user can select a search result (e.g., one of result user interface objects  1004   a - 1004   e ) that matches the portion of audiobook file for which user was searching. 
     In some embodiments, accompanying text  1010  includes at least one terminus (e.g., a beginning and/or an end) of a structural component (e.g., a sentence) having search term  1002   c . At  FIG.  10 C , first result user interface object  1004   a , second result user interface object  1004   b , third result user interface object  1004   c , and fifth result user interface object  1004   e  include accompanying text  1010  having a beginning of the structural component (e.g., the sentence) that includes search term  1002   c . In some embodiments, result user interface objects  1004   a - 1004   e  include the at least one terminus of the structural component having search term  1002   c , as well as search term  1002   c  and additional text corresponding to speech of the audio of audiobook file. The additional text corresponding to speech of the audio of the audiobook file may include as many words that fit within a predetermined size of result user interface objects  1004   a - 1004   e . Additionally, at  FIG.  10 C , fourth result user interface object  1002   d  includes an end of the structural component (e.g., the sentence) including search term  1002   c . As such, in some embodiments, electronic device  600  displays accompanying text  1010  with the beginning of the structural component having search term  1002   c  and/or the end of the structural component having search term  1002   c  based on where in the structural component search term  1002   c  is included (e.g., towards a beginning half or towards an ending half of structural component). In some embodiments, accompanying text  1010  does not include a terminus of the structural component. 
     In some embodiments, search user interface  1002  is scrollable (e.g., via user input), such that electronic device  600  is configured to display additional result user interface objects in response to user input (e.g., a swipe gesture). In some embodiments, search user interface  1002  includes result user interface objects for all instances of search term  1002   c , but displays a predetermined amount of result user interface objects at a given time. As such, electronic device  600  displays additional result user interface objects in response to user input (e.g., a scroll gesture). In some embodiments, electronic device  600  displays result user interface objects in chronological order (e.g., in chronological order associated with a time of audiobook file at which search term  1002   c  and/or a structural component including search term  1002   c  corresponding to speech of the audio is configured to be output). 
     In some embodiments, electronic device  600  detects user input (e.g., a tap and hold gesture) on one of result user interface objects  1004   a - 1004   e . In response to detecting user input, electronic device  600  initiates a process to create a bookmark for the search result represented by the selected user interface object, as discussed above with reference to  FIGS.  8 A- 8 I . 
     At  FIG.  10 C , electronic device  600  detects tap gesture  1050   c  on second result user interface object  1004   b . In response to detecting tap gesture  1050   c  on second result user interface object  1004   b , electronic device  600  causes audio to be output, as shown at  FIG.  10 D . 
     At  FIG.  10 D , outputted audio  606  includes text corresponding to speech of the audio that is output by electronic device  600  (e.g., output via internal speakers of electronic device  600  and/or via external speakers in communication with electronic device  600 ). As shown at  FIG.  10 D , outputted audio  606  emphasizes the word “After” at the beginning of the structural component (e.g., the sentence) including search term  1002   c  (e.g., “Joe”). Accordingly, electronic device  600  causes audio output to begin at the beginning of the structural component including search term  1002   c  in response to detecting tap gesture  1050   c . In other words, in some embodiments, electronic device  600  does not cause audio output to begin at the time of the audiobook file when search term  1002   c  is configured to be output. Initiating audio output at the beginning of the structural component including search term  1002   c  facilitates user comprehension of the audio by providing the user with additional context for search term  1002   c  (e.g., the entire sentence including search term  1002   c ). 
     In some embodiments, electronic device  600  displays search user interface  1002 , as well as search term  1002   c  in search bar  1002   a , in response to detecting a voice command. At  FIG.  10 E , electronic device  600  detects voice command  1050   d  (e.g., “Hey Assistant, Search the Autobiography of John Appleseed for ‘Joe’”). In response to detecting voice command  1050   d , electronic device  600  displays search user interface  1002 , search term  1002   c  in search bar  1002   a , and result user interface objects  1004   a - 1004   e  corresponding to search term  1002   c . Thus, electronic device  600  is configured to search the audiobook file in response to detecting both inputs from keyboard  1002   b  as well as voice command  1050   d.    
       FIG.  11    is a flow diagram illustrating a method for searching text corresponding to speech of an audio file using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method  1100  is performed at a computer system (e.g.,  100 ,  300 ,  500 ,  600 ) with a display generation component and one or more input devices. Some operations in method  1100  are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted. 
     As described below, method  1100  provides an intuitive way for searching text corresponding to speech of an audio file. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for accessing and/or finding a particular portion of the audio file, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to access a particular portion of the audio file faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. 
     In method  1100 , the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) (e.g., a smart phone; a tablet computer; a personal computer; an electronic document reader) is in communication with a display generation component (e.g.,  602 ) (e.g., an integrated display, a connected (e.g., wirelessly) display) and one or more input devices (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchscreen); a mouse). The computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays ( 1102 ), via the display generation component (e.g.,  602 ), a search interface (e.g.,  1002 ) of a media playback application (e.g., an interface of an audiobook playback application) (e.g., that includes a set of one or more media playback control user interface objects). 
     While the media playback application is configured to control playback of a first media item ( 1104 ) (e.g., an audiobook; a vocal recording), the first media item includes audio content that includes speech (e.g., recorded human speech; synthesized speech), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects ( 1106 ) via the one or more input devices, a first user input (e.g.,  1050   b ) (e.g., a keyboard input; a voice input processed via speech-to-text) that includes a first text search string (e.g.,  1002   c ) (e.g., a single word; a plurality of words (e.g., a phrase)). 
     After (e.g., and in response to) detecting the first user input (e.g.,  1050   b ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) displays ( 1108 ) one or more search results (e.g.,  1004   a ,  1004   b ,  1004   c ,  1004   d , and/or  1004   e ) that includes a first search result (e.g.,  1004   b ) corresponding to a first portion of speech of the audio content of the first media item that matches (e.g., that includes) the first text search string (e.g.,  1002   c ). 
     Enabling a user to search for speech of the audio content that matches the first text search string reduces the number of inputs needed by the user to access a particular portion of the audio content. For example, instead of attempting to locate a portion of the audio content via skipping, the user may easily find a particular portion of the audio content by searching with the first text search string. Reducing the number of inputs needed to access a particular portion of the audio content enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. 
     In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a second user input (e.g.,  1050   c ) corresponding to the first search result (e.g.,  1004   b ). In response to detecting the second user input (e.g.,  1050   c ), the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) outputs audio content of the first media item from a first playback time that corresponds to the first portion of speech of the audio content of the first media item. In some embodiments, outputting the audio content includes initiating output of audio content while no audio is being outputted. In some embodiments, outputting the audio content includes skipping to the first playback time, while audio was already being outputted. 
     In some embodiments, the first playback time corresponds to speech that is at a start of a first instance of a grammatical structure of a first type (e.g., a sentence; a paragraph). The grammatical structure of the first type includes a plurality of words. The first text search string (e.g.,  1002   c ) matches one or more words in the first instance of the grammatical structure of the first type (e.g., matches one or more words in the sentence). 
     Outputting audio content of the first media item from a first playback time that corresponds to the first portion of speech that is at a start of a first instance of a grammatical structure provides improved audio feedback to the user. For example, the start of the first instance of the grammatical structure enables the user to obtain additional context for the remaining portion of the grammatical structure. Providing improved audio feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. 
     In some embodiments, the first search result (e.g.,  1004   b ) includes a textual representation of (e.g., text from) at least a portion of the first instance of the grammatical structure of the first type that includes the one or more words (e.g.,  1002   c ) in the first instance of the grammatical structure of the first type. The one or more words (e.g.,  1002   c ) in the first instance of the grammatical structure of the first type are visually emphasized (e.g., bolded, underlined) relative to the words (e.g.,  1010 ) in the textual representation that do not match the first text search string (e.g.,  1002   c ). 
     Displaying a textual representation of at least a portion of the first instance of the grammatical structure and emphasizing the one or more words in the first instance of the grammatical structure provides the improved visual feedback. For example, the user may quickly identify the one or more words that match the first text search string and also identify the particular portion of the audio content for which the user was searching. Providing improved visual feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. 
     In some embodiments, the at least a portion of the first instance of the grammatical structure of the first type includes at least a start or at least an end of the first instance of the grammatical structure of the first type (e.g., a start or an end of the sentence). 
     In some embodiments, the first search result (e.g.,  1004   b ) includes an indication of a location (e.g.,  1006  and/or  1008 ) (e.g., a time stamp; a chapter identifier of an audiobook) within the first media item that corresponds to the first portion of speech of the audio content of the first media item that matches the first text search string (e.g.,  1002   c ). 
     In some embodiments, the indication of the location is a first time stamp (e.g.,  1006 ) (e.g., in hours, minutes, and/or seconds) that corresponds to speech that is at a start of a first instance of a grammatical structure of a second type (e.g., a sentence; a paragraph)(e.g., that is different from the first type; that is the same as the first type) that includes the first text string (e.g.,  1002   c ). In some embodiments, the time stamp (e.g.,  1006 ) is a start time associated with a sentence of the speech in the audio that includes the text. 
     In some embodiments, the indication of the location is a second time stamp (e.g.,  1006 ) (e.g., in hours, minutes, and/or seconds) that corresponds to speech that matches the first text string (e.g.,  1002   c ). In some embodiments, the time stamp is a time associated with the text of the speech in the audio. 
     In some embodiments, the one or more search results (e.g.,  1004   a ,  1004   b ,  1004   c ,  1004   d , and/or  1004   e ) includes results for all identified occurrences (e.g., identified via speech-to-text analysis) of the first text string (e.g.,  1002   c ) in the speech of the audio content of the first media item. In some embodiments, a certain number of results may be initially displayed, and the results may be scrolled (e.g., via a swipe gesture) to display additional results. In some embodiments, the search results are chronologically ordered with respect to playback of the audio. 
     In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) detects, via the one or more input devices, a first set of one or more inputs that includes an input corresponding to the first search result (e.g.,  1004   b ). In response to detecting the first set of one or more inputs, the computer system (e.g.,  600 ) creates a playback bookmark that, when activated (e.g., via selection of a corresponding bookmark indication), causes output of audio content of the first media item from a first playback time that corresponds to the first portion of speech of the audio content of the first media item. 
     In some embodiments, the first user input is a voice input (e.g., a spoken command) detected by one or more microphones in connection with the computer system (e.g.,  600 ). 
     In some embodiments, the first media item does not include pre-generated text data corresponding to speech of the audio content. In some embodiments, the first media item is received at the computer system (e.g., downloaded) without text data corresponding to speech of the audio content included in the media item or received in conjunction with the media item. In some embodiments, the first text is determined (e.g., generated for display) using one or more speech-to-text functions directly from the audio content of the first media item. 
     Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method  1100  (e.g.,  FIG.  11   ) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below/above. For example, methods  700  and  900  optionally include one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method  1100 . 
     The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the techniques and their practical applications. Others skilled in the art are thereby enabled to best utilize the techniques and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. 
     Although the disclosure and examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the disclosure and examples as defined by the claims. 
     As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of data available from various sources to improve management of audio content. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data may include personal information data. Such personal information data can include email addresses and/or payment information. 
     The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to access audio content. Accordingly, use of such personal information data enables users to better manage audio content. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. 
     The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For instance, in the US, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly. Hence different privacy practices should be maintained for different personal data types in each country. 
     Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of sharing audio content, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to “opt in” or “opt out” of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services or anytime thereafter. In addition to providing “opt in” and “opt out” options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an app that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app. 
     Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user&#39;s privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods. 
     Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data.
