Speech plays a very important role in all our lives. It is a way of communicating with others. Speech makes it so easy to express your feelings. Also, this is one of the main reasons why it is not so easy to interact with a computer or a robot. You require a particular kind of knowledge to interact with them. A child who just learned talking cannot use a computer. You need to know how to use a mouse, keyboard etc. If our computers could speak and listen like people, the age range of computer users would expand significantly. And this could bring a big change in the society.A lot of companies have developed software to recognize voice commands and perform an action. But it is not very effective. Because, there are many accents in the world and it is hard, even for a computer, to understand all of them. Yet, apps like google now and siri are doing a great job. They can recognize any kind of accent and language. They get the commands right almost all the time.
A few years ago, the voice recognition was at it's worst. If you'd command your phone to “open facebook” it would say “calling mom..”. It was very inaccurate.
