Abstract
A query-processing system processes an input audio stream that represents a succession of queries spoken by a user. The query-processing system listens continuously to the input audio stream, parses queries and takes appropriate actions in mid-stream. In some embodiments, the system processes queries in parallel, limited by serial constraints. In some embodiments, the system parses and executes queries while a previous query's execution is still in progress. To accommodate users who tend to speak slowly and express a thought in separate parts, the query-processing system halts the outputting of results corresponding to a previous query if it detects that a new speech utterance modifies the meaning of the previous query.
