Abstract
A user device may detect speech and use 'early exiting' when identifying a potential operational command in the detected speech. The implementation of early exiting may be based on a variable threshold, where variable sensitivity settings for the threshold may be used to control how quickly, and whether, an “early exit” or early prediction of an operational command will occur. An early exit threshold may be adjusted, for example, based on network conditions, to ensure optimal operational command determination from the audio.
