Speech Recognition
Speech Recognition is the task of converting spoken language into text. It involves recognizing the words spoken in an audio recording and transcribing them into a written format. The goal is to accurately transcribe the speech in real-time or from recorded audio, taking into account factors such as accents, speaking speed, and background noise.
