Introduction
Speech recognition is the process by which a computer (or any other type of machine) identifies spoken words.
Basically, it means talking to your computer, AND having it correctly understand what you are saying.
An alternative to traditional methods of interacting with a computer.

Speech Recognition Process
07-Feb-13
Signal Processing Convert the audio wave into a sequence of feature
vectors Speech Recognition
Decode the sequence of feature vectors into a sequence of words
Semantic Interpretation Determine the meaning of the recognized words
Dialog Management Correct the errors and help get the task done
Response Generation What words to use so as to maximize user
understanding Speech Synthesis (Text to Speech)
Generate synthetic speech from a ‘marked-up’ word string

Types of Speech Recognition
07-Feb-13
Isolated Words Single utterance at a time
Connected Words Separate utterances together with a
minimal pause between them Continuous Speech
Rehearsed speech or dictation Spontaneous Speech
Natural speechSPEECH RECOGNITION

Algorithms
07-Feb-13
Dynamic Time Warpingan algorithm for measuring similarity
between two sequences which may vary in time or speed.
Hidden Markov Models Neural Networks

Hidden Markov Model
07-Feb-13
In a HMM, the state is not directly visible, but output, dependent on the state, is visible.
Each state has a probability distribution over the possible output tokens. Therefore the sequence of tokens generated by an HMM gives some information about the sequence of states.
x — statesy — possible observationsa — state transition probabilitiesb — output probabilities

Neural Network
07-Feb-13
A neural network consists of an interconnected group of artificial neurons, and it processes information using a connectionist approach to computation.
An NN is typically defined by three types of parameters: The interconnection pattern between different
layers of neurons The learning process for updating the weights of the
interconnections The activation function that converts a neuron's
weighted input to its output activation.SPEECH RECOGNITION

Future Scope
07-Feb-13
Achieving efficient speaker independent word recognition
SRS may have the ability to distinguish nuances of speech and meanings of words.
Stand alone Speech Recognition Systems.
Wearable Speech Recognition System. Talk with all the devices.

Conclusion
07-Feb-13
Within five years, speech recognition technology will become so pervasive in our daily lives that service environments lacking this technology will be considered inferior.
Speech recognition will revolutionize the way people interacted with Smart devices & will, ultimately, differentiate the upcoming technologies.
