Speech recognition,

Definition of Speech recognition:

1. Computer technology that enables a device to recognize and understand spoken words, by digitizing the sound and matching its pattern against the stored patterns. Currently available devices are largely speaker-dependent (recognize speech of only one or two persons) and can recognize discrete speech (speech with pauses between words) better than the normal (continuous) speech. Their major applications are in assistive technology for helping people in working around their disabilities. Not to be confused with voice recognition which is used mainly in security devices.

2. The ability of a computer to identify and respond to the sounds produced in human speech.

Speech Recognition

Speech recognition systems interpret human speech and translate it into text or commands. Key applications include self-service and call routing for contact center applications, speech to text for desktop writing, form filling or voicemail transcription, and speech monitoring, user interface and content navigation for use on mobile devices, PC and embedded systems. † Controls for household appliances (such as televisions) and toys are also commercially available, but not widely used.
