Speech-to-Text
AI that converts spoken words into written text.
In Plain English
Speech-to-Text (also called automatic speech recognition or ASR) converts spoken language into written text. Modern AI-powered speech-to-text is highly accurate, works across many languages, and can handle different accents and background noise. It powers voice assistants, meeting transcription, video captions, and accessibility features.
💡Real-World Example
When you dictate a text message on your phone or when Zoom creates a meeting transcript, that's speech-to-text AI.
