Abstract
The technology of the present application provides a method and apparatus to manage speech resources. The method includes detecting a change in a speech application that requires the use of different resources. On detection of the change, the method loads the different resources without the user needing to exit the currently executing speech application. The apparatus provides a switch (which could be a physical or virtual switch) that causes a speech recognition system to identify audio as either commands or text.
