Techopedia Explains Voice Recognition
Voice recognition powered systems are primarily designed to recognize the voice of the person speaking. Before being able to recognize the voice of the speaker, voice recognition techniques require some training in which the underlying system will learn the voice, accent and tone of the speaker. This is generally accomplished through a series of textual words and statements that the person has to speak through the built-in or external microphone.
Voice recognition systems are related to speech recognition systems but the former only identifies the speaker whereas the latter can understand and evaluate what has been said.
