1. A method comprising:
obtaining, at a computing device, audio data received at a microphone while a vehicle traverses a route, wherein the microphone is communicatively coupled to the computing device and the computing device is located within or on the vehicle;
detecting, by the computing device, a vocal input in the audio data;
based on detecting the vocal input, generating audio information that assigns a time of reception of the vocal input by the microphone to the vocal input;
receiving, at the computing device and from the vehicle, parameters corresponding to a parameter identifier (PID) representing operation of a vehicle system while the vehicle traverses the route, wherein the computing device uses a data link connector (DLC) to receive the parameters corresponding to the PID representing operation of the vehicle system from an electronic control unit (ECU); and
displaying, by the computing device and on a display interface, a graph conveying the parameters corresponding to the PID representing the operation of the vehicle system while the vehicle traverses the route, wherein an indicator is positioned on the graph based the time of reception of the vocal input.
