1. A speech processing system, comprising:

  • an input port configured to receive a speech input representing at least one of a command and a stream of data by an automated data processing system having a system state;

    at least one processor, executing;

    a parser configured to distinguish between a command structure and dictation within the speech input;

    an analyzer configured to automatically analyze a grammar of the speech input for at least a distinguished command structure, to determine ambiguity and completeness representing a command structure deficiency;

    a user feedback system configured to indicate the command structure deficiency and to solicit the user to remedy the deficiency by providing additional speech input, in a contextually appropriate manner, wherein at least the user feedback system is adapted to alter the system state, such that a system state before soliciting the user to remedy the deficiency differs from the system state after soliciting the user to remedy the deficiency; and

    an interrupt module, configured to automatically preserve the system state prior to soliciting the user to remedy the deficiency, and after soliciting the user to remedy the deficiency, to automatically restore the preserved prior system state to the system state prior to soliciting the user to remedy the deficiency subject to changes in the system state resulting from execution of the command.
