Speech Recognition -- Language
Speech recognition is the process by which the computer uses special software that enables the computer to take in what is said by a specific human or humans and be able to translate it in computer language so that the computer could now act on the instructions given to it. Just like clicking with your mouse, typing on your keyboard, or pressing a key on the phone keypad provides input to an application, speech recognition allows you to provide input by talking. Speech is basically just another user interface, an input method, like using a mouse or a keyboard. According to Webster Speech recognition is simply, it ââ¬Å"converts spoken words to textâ⬠. If you are not familiar with the term speech recognition it goes by other terms such as automatic speech recognition, computer speech recognition and speech to text. Speech recognition works like this, first you speak into a microphone that is connected to a computer with the speak recognition program running. Some speech recognit ion softwareââ¬â¢s just to name a few are VoiceAttack (used in gaming), Trigamtech(features for medical users) and WRSToolkit(for dictionary and grammar). While saying what you would like the computer to do for you, as you speak you would see the words as you say them pop up on your screen. Information that I came upon while doing my research stated that ââ¬Å"You can speak at your normal speaking speed (about 120 words per minute) and the computer "guesses" using mathematical algorithms what word you mean in that context from what it knows about the English language.â⬠Using speech recognition programs on computers are not going to give you for certain the exact information that you asked for but it works and tries to understand what it has been told and in the end gives y... ...s by authenticating an individual by the sound of his or her voiceâ⬠and ââ¬Å"Mobile work force increasingly, speech recognition tools are being used to provide mobile work forces with hands-free access to corporate communications tools, such as voice mail, email and corporate directoriesâ⬠. Advantages of speech recognition are that it will revolutionize the way people conduct business over the web and will, ultimately, differentiate world-class e-businesses. These solutions can greatly expand the accessibility of Web-based self-service transactions to customers who would otherwise not have access.
