What+is+Speech+Recognition?



“Speech recognition software converts students’ voices into text as they speak” (Gardner, 2008, p. 46). Speech recognition provides the writer with a visible representation of the spoken text (Quinlan, 2004). When using speech recognition software, the user trains the software to recognize his/her voice for writing or giving commands (Green, 2011). The more the student uses the system, the more able the software is in understanding what the user is saying (Green, 2011).
