Abstract
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has grown tremendously in recent years, with deep learning playing a key role. Simply put, ASR is the task of converting spoken language into computer readable text (Fig. 8.1). It has quickly become ubiquitous today as a useful way to interact with technology, significantly bridging in the gap in human–computer interaction, making it more natural.

If there are additional labels like speaker and gender, these can also be used in the process. Common Voice does not have these labels, so each utterance is treated independently.

Note: It is possible to add specific words to the lexicon by exiting the lexicon-iv.txt file.
