Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to context-based endpoint detection in user speech input. A method for identifying an endpoint of a spoken request by a user may include receiving user input of natural language speech including one or more words; identifying at least one context associated with the user input; generating a probability, based on the at least one context associated with the user input, that a location in the user input is an endpoint; determining whether the probability is greater than a threshold; and in accordance with a determination that the probability is greater than the threshold, identifying the location in the user input as the endpoint.
