The method also involves determining, based on the voice input, whether to use voice-based processing. In response to a determination to use the voice-based processing, performing voice-based processing, including selecting a first workflow based on the voice input, and performing a first portion of the first workflow based on the voice input. The first portion of the first workflow is performed by the MPOS device. The method also includes determining whether to perform a second portion of the first workflow based on another voice input.
