Base Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: obtaining, by a first user device, a first score that indicates a likelihood that an utterance encoded in an audio signal that is generated by the first user device was spoken by a first user of the first user device; obtaining, by the first user device from another device that is a different device than the first user device and for a second user device that is co-located with the first user device, a second score that indicates a likelihood that the utterance was spoken by a second user that is associated with the second user device; determining, by the first user device, that the utterance was likely spoken by the first user based at least on (i) the first score that indicates a likelihood that the utterance was spoken by the first user of the first user device, and (ii) the second score that indicates a likelihood that the utterance was spoken by the second user that is associated with the second user device; and performing an action that corresponds with a spoken command encoded in the audio signal in response to determining that the utterance was likely spoken by the first user.
