Speech recognition technology is growing in popularity for voice assistants and robotics, for solving real-world problems through assisted healthcare or education, and more. This is helping democratize access to speech AI worldwide. As labeled datasets for unique, emerging languages become more widely available, developers can build AI applications readily, accurately, and affordably to enhance…
