Abstract: Techniques for a computing device operating in limited-access states are provided. One example method includes determining, by a computing device, that a notification is scheduled for output by the computing device during a first time period and that a pattern of audio detected during the first time period is indicative of human speech.

The method also includes outputting at least a portion of the notification at an earlier in time of an end of the second time period or an expiration of a third time period.
