Technical Speech Technology

Topic: "Speech technology, the ability to process human speech has been in and out of the research lab for over decades, but currently, speech technology software has improved. High-speed microprocessors are readily available; additionally, improved microphone technology allows users to utilize the evolving technology in new methods. Speech technology enables the users to communicate with the computer, also referred to as speech recognition. Speech recognition can derive many benefits; for example, (1) to increase the speed and accuracy of providing input to the application, and (2) easier and friendlier interfaces. However, the major issue of speech recognition can occur if phonemes construct and analyze the words to ensure correct spelling that sound alike find the mismatch between the accent of non-native and native speakers."
