Abstract
A speech-processing system capable of receiving spoken commands from a public or semi-public voice controlled device and determine a user who spoke the command for purposes of both command execution and output data routing. Identity of the user may be determined by various techniques such as facial identification, voice identification and the like. Identification techniques may be biased in view of users nearby to a voice controlled device. Private data resulting from the spoken command may be routed to a personal device of the user where non-private data may be output by the public voice controlled device.
