Robust, multi-faceted sub-word method for rapidly and reliably detecting a barge-in condition of a speaker talking while an automated audio prompt is being played. This sub-word method allows for rapid stopping of the prompt to improve automatic speech recognition and reduce speaker confusion and/or frustration. An automatic speech recognition system (ASR) that practices such a method is also presented.
