What is speech recognition?
Article Abstract:
A speech-recognition system allows a computer to translate voice requests and dictation into text. The most obvious use for speech-recognition systems is to allow the physically disabled to communicate with the computer, but other types of users, such as self-employed people and senior managers without keyboard skills, are seen as an important market. The three main speech recognition systems cuurently available are DragonDictate for Windows, the IBM VoiceType system and the Philips dictation system.
