1. A method of performing recognition of a speech utterance at a network server system comprising the steps of:
- a) evaluating an amount of computing resources available at the network server system for performing speech recognition operations on speech related data;
b) specifying a first set of speech recognition operations to be performed by the network server system on said speech related data in response to step (a);
c) receiving first speech data through a communications interface of the network server system, said first speech data being associated with a partial recognition of the speech utterance completed by a client device;
d) completing recognition of the speech utterance using software routines executing at the network server system which implement said first set of speech recognition operations.

Abstract
A real-time speech recognition system includes distributed processing across a client and server for recognizing a spoken query by a user. Both the client and server can dedicate a variable number of processing resources for performing speech recognition functions. In some implementations the partitioning of responsibility for speech recognition operations can be done on a client by client or query by query basis.
