METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR HYBRID SPEECH RECOGNITION PROCESSING
First Claim
1. A mobile electronic device for use in a hybrid speech processing system comprising the mobile electronic device and a network-connected server remotely located from the mobile electronic device, the mobile electronic device comprising:
- an input interface configured to receive input audio comprising speech;
an embedded speech recognizer configured to process at least a portion of the input audio to produce first recognized text;
a controller configured to determine whether to send information to the server for speech processing, wherein the information includes at least a portion of the input audio and/or at least a portion of the first recognized text, wherein the determination of whether to send the information is based, at least in part, on an analysis of the input audio, the recognized text, or a semantic category associated with the first recognized text; and
a network interface configured to send the information to the server in response to determining that the information should be sent to the server.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for selectively performing speech processing in a hybrid speech processing system. The hybrid speech processing system includes at least one mobile electronic device and a network-connected server remotely located from the at least one mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device is configured to use an embedded speech recognizer to process at least a portion of input audio to produce recognized text. A controller on the mobile electronic device determines whether to send information from the mobile electronic device to the server for speech processing. The determination of whether to send the information is based, at least in part, on an analysis of the input audio, the recognized text, or a semantic category associated with the recognized text.
