Routledge Dictionary of Language and Linguistics
In computational linguistics the recognition of linguistic signs and structures on electronic channels, such as the isolation of phones from an acoustically perceivable stream of signs (cf. character recognition for optical media). Speech recognition is necessary for computer language processing, especially for reducing speech to texts (cf. speech synthesis for the reverse). Outside linguistics, voice recognition is used in criminal investigations to identify persons on the basis of voice quality.
