Voice recognition is currently going through a spike in popularity, especially since the iPhone 4S was released back in October 2011 running iOS5 with Siri. Siri has definitely helped raise the awareness of just how good voice recognition technology has evolved over the last couple of years, Nuance being the company leading the way in this technology on Mac, Windows and now inside both iOS5 and iOS6 working closely with Apple. Most people who use voice recognition software typically pop on a headset and mic and chat away to their Windows PC or Mac and watch as their voice is magically (or using the Dragon voice recognition engine if you don’t believe in magic) converted to text.
Voice or speech recognition software will only successfully work with one spoken voice and that spoken voice, for best results, needs to have trained the software to understand their voice and style of speaking known as creating a voice profile.
