Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
detecting periods of voice activity and periods of no voice activity within a plurality of spoken words;
parsing the plurality of spoken words according to a first grammar and a second grammar determining whether the plurality of spoken words is a complete parse according to the first grammar and a prefix to another complete parse according to the second grammar;
accessing a no voice activity detection (NVAD) cut-off period calculated from prior speech; and
scaling the NVAD cut-off period, which prevents pre-mature cutting off slow voice activity and improves responsiveness to fast voice activity, based at least in part on determining whether the plurality of spoken words is a complete parse according to the first grammar and a prefix to another complete parse according to the second grammar.
