7. A computer-implemented method for operating an interactive response system comprising: receiving data representing an utterance from a person; using a processor, automatically presenting the utterance in perceptible form to an intent analyst through an analyst user interface; accepting intent input from intent analyst through the analyst user interface, where the intent input characterizes the intent analyst's interpretation of the person's intent expressed in the utterance; providing the data and the intent input to a training subsystem; accepting from the training subsystem training information generated responsive to the data and the intent input; and sending the training information to a real-time recognition processor in order to improve performance thereof.
