Abstract
Systems and processes for robust end-pointing of speech signals using speaker recognition are provided. In one example process, a stream of audio having a spoken user request can be received. A first likelihood that the stream of audio includes user speech can be determined. A second likelihood that the stream of audio includes user speech spoken by an authorized user can be determined. A start-point or an end-point of the spoken user request can be determined based at least in part on the first likelihood and the second likelihood.
