Abstract

Techniques to provide automatic speech recognition at a local device are described. An apparatus may include an audio input to receive audio data indicating a task. The apparatus may further include a local recognizer component to receive the audio data, to pass the audio data to a remote recognizer while receiving the audio data, and to recognize speech from the audio data. The apparatus may further include a federation component operative to receive one or more recognition results from the local recognizer and/or the remote recognizer, and to federate a plurality of recognition results to produce a most likely result. The apparatus may further include an application to perform the task indicated by the most likely result. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
