Described herein are systems and methods for context-aware speech processing. A speech context is determined based on context data associated with a user uttering speech. The speech context and the speech uttered in that speech context may be used to build acoustic models for that speech context. An acoustic model for use in speech processing may be selected based on the determined speech context. A language model for use in speech processing may also be selected based on the determined speech context. Using the acoustic and language models, the speech may be processed to recognize the speech from the user.
