Speech recognition is a way to use your voice to operate a device, perform commands, or write without having to use a keyboard, mouse, or press any buttons. Speech Recognition has been around for a very long time. It sounds futuristic, but in reality has been used for years in the form of speaking your answer to an automated telephone prompt to creating your shopping list on Amazon Echo. When you speak and receive a response... that is speech recognition. Since using speech recognition with smart speakers (Amazon Echo, Google Nest, Apple Homepod, etc.) is so easy... we can see creating emails, letters, reports and such with our voices is a natural next step.
