Methods and devices for sampling applications using a touch input are described herein. In some embodiments, an electronic device detects a touch input, which may cause the electronic device to send identifiers to a backend system. The backend system may then determine an application and sample audio request associated with the received identifiers. The backend system may then receive text data representing the sample audio request and text data representing a response to the sample audio request. The backend system may generate audio data representing the received text data and send the audio data to the electronic device. If, the touch input is still occurring, the backend system may find and send more sample audio requests and the responses thereof. If the touch input stops occurring during the sample, the backend system may send instructions to the electronic device to stop outputting the sample.
