Abstract
An audio splitting system for sharing speech data associated with the same utterance between multiple speech technologies (consumers). In one aspect, the system comprises one or more queues for storing data, a plurality of consumers each sharing the data stored in the one or more queues and a scheduler for managing the storage of the data in the one or more queues and the consumption of the data in the one or more queues by each of the plurality of consumers. The consumers will register their data requirements and priority requests with the scheduler. The scheduler assigns each of the plurality of consumers to one or more of the queues based on the registered data requirements.
