Abstract

Techniques disclosed herein include systems and methods for managing user interface responses to user input including spoken queries and commands. This includes providing incremental user interface (UI) response based on multiple recognition results about user input that are received with different delays. Such techniques include providing an initial response to a user at an early time, before remote recognition results are available. Systems herein can respond incrementally by initiating an initial UI response based on first recognition results, and then modify the initial UI response after receiving secondary recognition results. Since an initial response begins immediately, instead of waiting for results from all recognizers, it reduces the perceived delay by the user before complete results get rendered to the user.
