Speech Recognition
Speech recognition is the technology that converts spoken language into text. It involves processing audio signals, extracting features, and using machine learning models to transcribe speech accurately.
AI companies need speech recognition for voice assistants, transcription services, and human-computer interaction. With the rise of multimodal AI and voice interfaces, accurate and efficient speech-to-text systems are critical for product development.
