6.1 Traditional Methods of Speech Recognition

For more than 60 years, ASR has been a subject of study. The transcription industry has evolved tons over the past 10 years. However, in practical acoustic settings, accurately understanding spoken utterances remains a challenge. Traditionally, speech recognition process is divided on the basis of two categories as shown ...
