Abstract

Computationally implemented methods and systems include detecting speech data related to a speech-facilitated transaction, acquiring adaptation data that is at least partly based on at least one speech interaction of a particular party that is discrete from the detected speech data, wherein at least a portion of the adaptation data has been stored on a particular device associated with the particular party, obtaining a destination of one or more of the adaptation data and the speech data, and transmitting one or more of the speech data and the adaptation data to the acquired destination. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.
