Introduction

     Speech recognition is the process of analyzing an acoustic speech signal to identify the linguistic message that was intended, so that a machine can correctly respond to spoken commands. For instance, you can give a command and the computer will do what you want it to do. It is also used in other devices, such as phones and cars. An example of speech recognition in phones is that you can set voice tags for some of your contacts, so that will let you call them by saying their name. There is different software that you can buy for speech recognition. Apple computers and Windows Vista are two items that come with speech recognition.
