Artificial Intelligence for Speech Recognition

This paper presents how Speech Recognition, the most important application of Artificial Intelligence grows in technology. The notion of AI is well known due to its popularity in science fiction movies which depict humans interacting
with machines as they would with other humans. Speech and gestures are the natural means of communication used by humans to interact with each other. Speech Recognition makes it possible for you to speak to a computer. Speech Recognition Software is the technology that transforms spoken words into alphanumeric text and navigational commands. Speech Recognition is used in legal and medical transcription, the generation of subtitles for live sports and current affairs programs on television. In naturally spoken language, there are no pauses between words, so it is difficult for a computer to decide where
word boundaries lie. Automatic speech recognition is the process by which a computer maps an acoustic speech signal to text. These powerful trends will drive the next generation of information technology into the mainstream by about 2010.
