39. The computationally-implemented method of claim 33 , wherein said storing a reference to a location of adaptation data, wherein the adaptation data is at least partly based on at least one speech interaction of a particular party comprises: storing the reference to the location of adaptation data, wherein the adaptation data is at least partly based on at least one speech interaction of a particular party, wherein the at least one speech interaction includes one or more of: a particular party's recorded responses to an automated credit card payment by phone system that are recorded and compared with expected answers; a particular party's interaction with a similar type of device as the target device; one or more previous speech interactions including printing an airline ticket using a speech command; a recording of the particular party's voice that was previously analyzed to generate speech characteristics through manual inputting; a recording of the particular party's voice that was previously analyzed to generate speech characteristics through application of an algorithm; a particular party speaking into a headset during a playing of a video game; an interaction between the particular party and another person; an interaction between the particular party and another person that was recorded by a smartphone; an interaction between the particular party and a phone of the particular party; and an interaction between the particular party and a headset.
33. A computationally-implemented method, comprising: storing a reference to a location of adaptation data, wherein the adaptation data is at least partly based on at least one speech interaction of a particular party; testing an availability of the adaptation data by comparing a property of the adaptation data located at the referenced location with an expected value of the property of the adaptation data; facilitating transmission of the adaptation data to a target device when there is an indication of a speech-facilitated transaction between the target device and the particular party, wherein the adaptation data is configured to be applied to the target device to assist in execution of the speech-facilitated transaction; and facilitating acquisition of adaptation result data that is based on at least one aspect of the speech-facilitated transaction and configured to be used in determining whether to modify the adaptation data.
