Patent attributes
A speech interface device is configured to update personalized data in local memory for responding to user speech. The speech interface device may receive compiled personalized data from a remote system, or raw personalized data from local devices in the environment of the speech interface device, the raw personalized data being compiled locally on the speech interface device. The compiled personalized data is received by an artifact manager of the speech interface device for storage in the memory of the speech interface device. A local speech processing component of the speech interface device may use the compiled personalized data when processing user speech in order to understand a spoken form of a word or phrase that is associated with a user. This allows for responding to personal user speech, even when the speech interface device is unable to communicate with a remote speech processing system over a wide area network.
