Computationally implemented methods and systems include receiving speech data correlated to one or more words spoken by a particular party, receiving adaptation data that is at least partly based on at least one speech interaction of a particular party that is discrete from the received speech data, wherein at least a portion of the adaptation data has been stored on a particular device associated with the particular party, obtaining target data regarding a target configured to process at least a portion of the received speech data, and determining whether to apply the adaptation data for processing at least a portion of the received speech data, at least partly based on the acquired target data. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.
