Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for controlling a device without requiring visual contact with the device are presented. One method includes an operation for identifying available options for presentation to a user according to a state of a computer program executing on a portable device, where the available options belong to a plurality of possible menu items. Further, the method provides an audible output of the available options to the user and detection of a touch-based input by the portable device, where the input is received at the portable device without providing an identifiable visual cue to the user. Further yet, the method includes operations for determining the selected option from the available options based on the timing of the input relative to the audible output, and for performing the selected option by the computer program.
