1. An automatic speech recognition system, comprising:
- a processor configured to receive a spoken utterance and convert the spoken utterance into a plurality of recognized speech results through a plurality of automatic speech recognition modules; and
the processor is further configured to interpret each of the plurality of recognized speech results rendered by each of the plurality of automatic speech recognition modules through a plurality of natural language processing modules;
the processor is further configured to process each of the plurality of recognized speech results through a plurality of conversation modules;
wherein the processor is further configured to assign an affinity status to one or more of the plurality of automatic speech recognition modules that restrict a conversion of a subsequent spoken utterance to the one or more automatic speech recognition modules assigned the affinity status.
