NLP

Computers understanding speech

NLP is an abbreviation with two common meanings in different fields.

In computing and artificial intelligence, it stands for natural language processing, the technology that enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language—the engine behind chatbots, voice assistants, and translation software.

In psychology and self-help contexts, NLP means neuro-linguistic programming, a controversial approach to communication and personal development that claims to reprogram thought patterns through language techniques.
