Benefits of AI-Powered OCR
Some of the benefits of AI-powered OCR are as follows:
• High accuracy and less human errors
• Fast processing
• Save time and efforts
• Increase productivity
Speech Recognition
Speech recognition or speech-to-text and vice versa, is the ability of a machine or program to identify
words spoken aloud and convert them into readable text.
How Does Speech Recognition Work?
Now let us understand the four steps involved in speech recognition:
1. Analyse the audio
2. Break it into parts
3. Digitise it into a computer-readable format
4. Apply a set of instructions to match the audio with the most suitable text representation
Role of Artificial Intelligence in Speech Recognition
AI-powered speech recognition technology adds convenience to its users. It has the ability to
recognise an individual based on their audio command. These systems use the grammar structure,
syntax and composition of audio and voice signals to process the speech. The accuracy of conversion
has almost reached 95%.
Almost all the smartphones currently use a virtual assistant to understand the human voice and
perform actions accordingly. For example, an android-based smartphone has Google Assistant
as virtual assistant which listens voice commands and performs actions like make a call, send a
message, open photos, etc. Some other voice assistants, which works on speech recognition
technology, are Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana, etc.
