1. A method for processing an audio input using an iterative speech recognition system, the method comprising:
receiving the audio input at a speech processing component;
applying an input-aware recognition process to the audio input to generate a start-of-speech event;
responsive to generating the start-of-speech event, applying an input-unaware recognition process to a remaining audio input to determine silence, unexpected speech, or expected speech; and
initiating a response in accordance with a result of the input-unaware recognition process.
