Voice recognition or speech recognition is essentially a computer program that has the capability of decoding human voice. This technology is today widely used in medical or legal transcription. You can also use these applications to convert talk to text for writing emails. Many of these software applications are compatible with various types of word processors including Microsoft Word. There are several different software products available on the market that allow you to dictate to your computer and have your words converted into text. They also work with most video formats such as H.264, MPEG-2, MOV, m4v, MP4, DAT, and VOB. Speech recognition software work with most audio files based on formats such as AAC, AVI, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible 2, 3 and 4, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV. Voice recognition is made possible by various types of voice transcription software, MP3 to text transcription converters and talk to text software, which are widely used these days.
This technology is based on an automated speech recognition program or an automated phone system.
Instead, you are greeted by an automated voice recording, that takes your call and answers your questions based on certain words spoken by you. You have no doubt noticed that when you call the customer support of a large company, you no longer have an actual human voice answering you.
