User profiling for selecting user specific voice input processing information

An electronic device controllable by voice inputs, comprising a processor, an input interface, and an output interface, the processor operative to:

• direct the input interface to receive a voice input from a user;
• identify the user providing the received voice input;
• provide the identity of the user to a library of words used to process voice inputs;
• receive a subset of the library of words, wherein the subset includes words likely to be used by the identified user, and wherein the subset of library words relates to user interest information that is based on words or phrases from previously received voice inputs that were determined to be properly identified;
• process the voice input using the received subset;
• and
• direct the output interface to provide an output based on the processed voice input.

A method for defining a subset of a library used for processing voice inputs, comprising:

• at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors
• providing a library of words from which to process voice inputs;
• identifying user interest information by identifying words or phrases from previously received voice inputs that were determined to be properly identified;
• extracting, from the user interest information, words that the user is likely to use to provide a voice input;
• and
• defining a subset of the library, wherein the subset comprises at least the words of the library matching the extracted words.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for processing a voice input, the computer readable media comprising computer program logic recorded thereon for:

• receiving a voice input;
• identifying a user providing the voice input;
• identifying a subset of library words associated with the identified user, wherein the subset of library words relates to user interest information that is based on words or phrases from previously received voice inputs that were determined to be properly identified;
• and
• processing the received voice input using the identified subset.
