Abstract
An interactive voice response unit which provides beneficial operation by including means to handle unconstrained input such as natural speech and to allow barge-in includes a prompter, a recognizer of speech signals, a meaningful phrase detector and classifier, and a turn-taking module, all under control of a dialog manager. In the course of listening to user input while outputting a voiced message, the voice response unit processes the received signal and ascertains whether it is receiving an utterance that is intended to interrupt the prompt, or merely noise or an utterance that is not meant to be used by the arrangement. The unit is sensitive to the speed and context of the speech provided by the user and is thus able to distinguish between a situation where a speaker is merely pausing and a situation where a speaker is done speaking.
