1. A method, comprising:
receiving, from a first device, first data representing a first input;
determining the first data corresponds to a user identifier;
determining an error condition in response to the first input;
determining second data representing at least one previous user input corresponding to the user identifier, wherein the at least one previous user input relates to speech processing data associated with the user identifier and/or an action previously performed based on the speech processing data associated with the user identifier;
using the second data to determine, from a plurality of techniques for recovering from the error condition, a technique for recovering from the error condition;
using the technique to determine output data corresponding to a response to the first input; and
causing the output data to be sent to the first device.
