Speech recognition involves the use of algorithms and machine learning models to interpret and transcribe spoken words. It typically includes several steps:
1. Audio Capture: The system records the spoken words. 2. Speech Processing: The audio signal is transformed into a digital format. 3. Feature Extraction: Relevant features of the audio signal are identified. 4. Pattern Recognition: The features are matched with pre-existing patterns within a database. 5. Language Processing: The recognized patterns are converted into text.
