Definition
Speech recognition converts spoken words into text using AI to understand human speech patterns.
How It Works
AI analyzes sound waves to identify phonemes (basic speech sounds), then combines them into words and sentences. It learns from thousands of hours of recorded speech to handle different accents, speaking speeds, and background noise.
Modern systems use deep learning to understand context and correct mistakes.
Why It Matters
Speech recognition powers voice assistants, transcription services, and accessibility tools. It lets people interact with computers naturally and helps those who can't type easily.
The technology keeps improving, handling more languages and accents accurately.
