1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • accessing audio data that includes encoded speech;

    accessing information that indicates a docking context of a client device, the docking context being associated with the audio data;

    identifying a plurality of language models;

    identifying multiple sets of weighting values for the plurality of language models, the multiple sets of weighting values comprising at leasta first set of multiple weighting values that correspond to multiple language models of the plurality of language models, the first set of multiple weighting values being associated with a first key phrase, wherein the first set of multiple weighting values is used to bias selection of a language model when a user utters the first key phrase, anda second set of multiple weighting values that correspond to multiple language models of the plurality of language models, the second set of multiple weighting values being associated with a second key phrase, the second set of multiple weighting values being different from the first set of multiple weighting values, and the second key phrase being different from the first key phrase;

    determining that the docking context indicates docking of the client device with a docking station of a first type;

    based on determining that the docking context indicates docking of the client device with the docking station of the first type, selecting, from among the multiple sets of weighting values, the first set of multiple weighting values associated with the first key phrase;

    selecting at least a first language model of the plurality of language models using the first set of multiple weighting values associated with the first key phrase; and

    performing speech recognition on the audio data using the first language model to identify a transcription for a portion of the audio data.
