13. A method for automatic speech recognition (ASR) of a speech input, the method comprising: sending the speech input to a local ASR arrangement; sending the speech input to a remote server for remote ASR processing; and after sending the speech input to the remote server, determining if a remote ASR processing condition is met, wherein determining if the remote ASR processing condition is met occurs while the local ASR arrangement processes the speech input; and when the remote ASR processing condition is determined to be met, suspending speech processing by the local ASR arrangement so that recognition results solely from the remote ASR processing are used to produce an output interpretation of the speech input.
