What Is Voice Recognition Software?
Voice recognition software uses the human voice as the main communication mechanism between the user and the computer. While relatively simple to use, voice recognition software is sophisticated technology that uses "language modeling" to recognize and differentiate among the millions of human utterances that make up any language.1
The software enables users to input text and data into virtually any Microsoft® Windows®-based applications by voice, as well as to navigate the computer desktop with little or no use of their hands. Users speak naturally into a noise-canceling microphone connected to the computer. 2 The software "recognizes" the spoken words, converts them into text, and displays them on the screen.
How do voice recognition software programs understand speech?
Voice recognition software programs are based on statistical probability. The software analyzes an incoming stream of sounds and interprets those sounds as commands and dictation. This process of interpretation is called voice recognition, and its success is measured by the percentage of correct interpretations, or recognition accuracy.
The software relies on three sources of information to achieve high recognition accuracy:
-
Acoustic model-a mathematical model of the sound pattern used by the speaker's language.
-
Vocabulary-a list of words that the program can recognize. Each word in the vocabulary has a text representation and a pronunciation.
-
Language model-statistical information associated with a vocabulary that describes the likelihood of words and sequences of words occurring in the user's speech.
