Abstract
Methods and apparatus for reducing latency in speech recognition applications. The method comprises receive first audio comprising speech from a user of a computing device, detecting an end of speech in the first audio, generating an ASR result based, at least in part, on a portion of the first audio prior to the detected end of speech, determining whether a valid action can be performed by a speech-enabled application installed on the computing device using the ASR result, and processing second audio when it is determined that a valid action cannot be performed by the speech-enabled application using the ASR result.
