1. A method, comprising:
receiving, from a client device, an audio signal encoding one or more utterances for which the client device determined that at least a portion of the one or more utterances satisfies a first threshold of being at least a portion of a key phrase;
determining whether the one or more utterances satisfy a second threshold of being at least a portion of the key phrase, the second threshold more restrictive than the first threshold; and
sending, to the client device, data when it is determined that the one or more utterances do not satisfy the second threshold of being the key phrase.
