Welcome to the Verbal Net. The verbal Net is all about the emerging technology of speech recognition. The term “voice recognition” is sometimes used to refer to speech recognition where the recognition system is trained to a particular speaker’s voice – as is the case for most desktop recognition software. Speech recognition, however, is a broad term which means it can recognize almost anybody’s speech – such as a call-centre system designed to recognize many voices.

Speech recognition applications include voice dialing (e.g., “Call home”), call routing (e.g., “I would like to make a collect call”), content-based spoken audio search (e.g., find a podcast where particular words were spoken), simple data entry (e.g., entering a credit card number), preparation of structured documents (e.g., a radiology report), speech-to-text processing (e.g., word processors or emails), and in aircraft cockpits (usually termed direct voice input). The new generation of smartphones relies heavily on speech recognition for both inputting commands, as well as hearing responses.
