	Voice and Speech Recognition Softare / Vendor Guide
		A voice interface is not constrained by the physical size of the device.
		Speech Recognition is a technology that allows the computer to identify and understand words spoken by a person using a microphone or telephone.
		Dictation is a mode of speech recognition in which the user enters data by reading directly to the computer.

	Voice Recognition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Voice recognition is "the technology by which sounds, words or phrases spoken by humans are converted into electrical signals, and these signals are transformed into coding patterns to which meaning has been assigned" [ADA90].
		With this approach to voice recognition, the program has a "vocabulary" that is limited to the words or phrases used in the training session, and its user base is also limited to those users who have trained the program.
		In a connected word voice recognition system, the user is allowed to speak in multiple word phrases, but he or she must still be careful to articulate each word and not slur the end of one word into the beginning of the next word.

	Speaker recognition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Speaker recognition, or voice recognition is the task of recognizing people from their voices.
		Generally, two applications of speaker recognition can be distinguished: If the speaker claims to be of a certain identity and the voice is used to verify this claim this is called speaker verification or voice authentication.
		In a sense speaker verification is a 1:1 match where one speaker's voice is matched to one template (and possibly a general world template) whereas speaker identification is a 1:N match where the voice is matched to N templates.

		Voice recognition programs are a popular solution for individuals who are already experiencing uncomfortable symptoms related to typing.
		Though most voice recognition programs boast an impressive 300,000+ word database, there are bound to be words they don't recognize especially in a professional setting.
		Voice recognition software is a great solution for short and simple tasks, particularly where details (such as spelling and punctuation) aren't crucial.

	Voice Recognition
		Voice recognition software recognizes the user's voice; whatever is dictated into the microphone will appear as an electronic, word-processed document.
		There are various voice recognition programs available; for optimal performance all require a computer with a significant amount of memory (hardware), processor speed, the speech recognition software, a headset/microphone, and a superior interface connecting to the sound system.
		The obvious advantage of voice recognition technology for students with learning disabilities, who have difficulty expressing themselves in writing, is that it circumvents the transcription process entirely.

	Technical terms for voice recognition
		Speaker independent: The voice recognition system recognises the speaker regardless of who is speaking (dialect, gender).
		Training the voice recognition system: In order to teach the phoneme based speech recognition system new words the system must be given as many different speech samples as possible.
		Recognition of connected digits and words: If the intention is that several words spoken one after another should be recognised, the connected digits and words recognition system is used.

		Voice recognition technology is still in its infancy, and has provided me with some amusing and frustrating moments.
		Because of this, voice recognition technology is a real boon to people with disabilities, if they are at all computer-savvy.
		At the moment, in order for me to dictate text through voice recognition and manipulate it into word processing, I need to wear two separate headsets: one for the voice recognition microphone, and a second for a gyroscope used to control the mouse via head movements.

		Far out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal, it is very, very deep; so deep, indeed, that no cable could fathom it: many church steeples, piled one upon another, would not reach from the ground beneath to the surface of the water above.
		No, indeed; the most singular flowers and plants grow there; the leaves and stems of which are so pliant, that the slightest agitation of the water causes them to stir as if they had life.

	Speech recognition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Speech recognition (in many contexts also known as 'automatic speech recognition', computer speech recognition or erroneously as Voice Recognition) is the process of converting a speech signal to a sequence of words, by means of an algorithm implemented as a computer program.
		Voice Verification or speaker recognition is a related process that attempts to identify the person speaking, as opposed to what is being said.
		Each word, or (for more general speech recognition systems), each phoneme, will have a different output distribution; a hidden Markov model for a sequence of words or phonemes is made by concatenating the individual trained hidden Markov models for the separate words and phonemes.

		Many speech recognition applications are marketed with their own specialized microphone and these would be a better choice over the ones that do not have microphone.
		Regardless that the speech recognition package would work with any microphone, the one that is packaged with the software is the one that has been designed to cut out the surrounding sound thereby increasing the sensitivity and accuracy of the application.

	Glossary of Adaptive Technologies: Voice Recognition
		Voice recognition may be used to dictate text into the computer or to give commands to the computer (such as opening application programs, pulling down menus, or saving work).
		Older voice recognition applications require each word to be separated by a distinct space.
		While the accuracy of voice recognition has improved over the past few years some users still experience problems with accuracy either because of the way they speak or the nature of their voice.

	What is voice recognition? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		Note that voice recognition implies only that the computer can take dictation, not that it understands what is being said.
		For example, such systems are useful in instances when the user is unable to use a keyboard to enter data because his or her hands are occupied or disabled.
		Increasingly, however, as the cost decreases and performance improves, speech recognition systems are entering the mainstream and are being used as an alternative to keyboards.

		Many companies use voice XML (extensible markup language) or proprietary software to let telephone callers navigate menu options with their voices.
		While there are kinks to smooth out in the prototype -- in a couple of demos the companies had to repeat a command two or three times before the devices responded -- analysts agree that it's going to be a speech-driven world.
		Voice recognition software will become a hit among electronics manufacturers when it is perfected to avoid the need to repeat commands, Miller said.

	Voice Recognition with Wavelets
		Speech recognition has been an important part of the civilization for many centuries.
		Since frequency is one of the important pieces of information necessary to accurately recognize sound, it is necessary to have a transformation that allows one to break a signal into its frequency components.
		The most basic realization in the analysis of voice data for the purpose of recognition is the need for frequency analysis.
