Computers can understand human speech by listening and learning. Just like how you learn to recognize your friend's voice, computers use a special kind of listening called recognition. They break down what you say into little pieces, then match them to words they already know. It’s like playing a game where the computer guesses which word you're saying.
Examples
- You ask your phone, 'What’s the weather today?' and it replies, 'It’s sunny and 25 degrees.'
- Your smart speaker turns on the lights when you say, 'Hey Siri, turn on the lights.'
- You talk to a robot, and it answers your questions as if it knows what you’re saying.
