30. A method, for use with a system, the method performed by at least one processor executing computer program instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium: wherein the system comprises: a first device including an audio capture component; a speech recognition processing component; and a second device including a result processing component; wherein the method comprises: (A) using the audio capture component to capture an audio signal representing speech of a user to produce a captured audio signal; (B) using the speech recognition processing component to perform automatic speech recognition on the captured audio signal to produce speech recognition results; (C) determining that the result processing component is associated with a current context of the user, comprising: a. identifying a list of at least one result processing component currently authorized for use on behalf of the user; and b. determining that the at least one result processing component in the list is associated with the current context of the user; (D) in response to the determination that the result processing component is associated with the current context of the user, providing the speech recognition results to the result processing component; and (E) using the result processing component to process the speech recognition results to produce result output.
