Speech recognition is used to identify words in spoken language.Speech recognition and voice recognition are two different technologies and should not be confused: Many modern devices and text-focused programs have speech recognition functions in them to allow for easier or hands-free use of a device. Speech recognition uses a broad array of research in computer science, linguistics and computer engineering. More sophisticated software can handle natural speech, different accents and various languages. Rudimentary speech recognition software has a limited vocabulary and may only identify words and phrases when spoken clearly. Speech recognition, or speech-to-text, is the ability of a machine or program to identify words spoken aloud and convert them into readable text. Ben Lutkevich, Technical Features Writer.
