voice recognition
Hearing who speaks
Voice recognition is technology that identifies and processes human speech.
Systems may identify who is speaking (speaker recognition) or convert spoken words to text (speech recognition).
The terms often blur in casual use: My phone has voice recognition might mean it unlocks to your voice or takes dictation.
The voice recognition couldn't understand my accent.
