automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems are technologies that convert spoken language into text. They use algorithms to analyze sound waves and identify words, similar to how humans understand speech. ASR systems are trained on large datasets of spoken language, allowing them to recognize different accents, pronunciations, and contexts. Common applications include voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, transcription services, and customer service automation. ASR improves communication with machines, making interactions more intuitive and efficient by allowing users to speak naturally instead of typing commands.
