Abstract
What is it? Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a digital communication method that transforms spoken discourse into written text. This rapidly evolving technology is used in email, text messaging, or live video captioning. Current ASR systems operate in conjunction with Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to transform speech into text that people – and machines – can read. NLP refers to the methodologies and computational tools that analyze data produced in a natural language, such as English.
