1. A computer-implemented method for managing speech recognition response, the computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a spoken utterance at a client electronic device, the client electronic device having a local automated speech recognizer; analyzing the spoken utterance using the local automated speech recognizer; transmitting at least a portion of the spoken utterance over a communication network to a remote automated speech recognizer that analyzes spoken utterances and returns remote speech recognition results; prior to receiving a remote speech recognition result from the remote automated speech recognizer, initiating a response via a user interface of the client electronic device, the response corresponding to the spoken utterance, wherein at least an initial portion of the response is based on a local speech recognition result from the local automated speech recognizer, wherein the local speech recognition result is classified into one of multiple reliability classes based on a confidence value representing accuracy of the local speech recognition result, and wherein the initiated response is selected based on the reliability class assigned to the local speech recognition result; and modifying the response after the response has been initiated and prior to completing delivery of the response via the user interface such that modifications to the response are delivered via the user interface as a portion of the response, the modifications being based on the remote speech recognition result.
