This document describes, among other things, a computer-implemented method for transcribing an utterance. The method can include receiving, at a computing system, speech data that characterizes an utterance of a user. A first set of candidate transcriptions of the utterance can be generated using a static class-based language model that includes a plurality of classes that are each populated with class-based terms selected independently of the utterance or the user. The computing system can then determine whether the first set of candidate transcriptions includes class-based terms. Based on whether the first set of candidate transcriptions includes class-based terms, the computing system can determine whether to generate a dynamic class-based language model that includes at least one class that is populated with class-based terms selected based on a context associated with at least one of the utterance and the user.
