Speech recognition is not speech understanding. Understanding the meaning of words is a higher intellectual function. Because a computer can respond to a vocal command does not mean it understands the command spoken. Speech Recognition involves the conversion of Spoken Sounds (user utterances) to Text (a string of words) requires knowledge of Phonetics and Phonology First, a microphone detects the sound waves spoken by a person and converts them into an analogue electrical signal. This analogue signal is digitised using an analogue/digital converter. The digital sequence is then ‘chopped up’ into its constituent words by looking for the quiet parts of the signal. These digital speech fragments are then recognised as individual words.
