Existen varias técnicas para tomar muestras de la voz y convertirla en código digital para su almacenaje y captura (por ejemplo, modulación de código de pulsos). Sin embargo, el reconocimiento de la voz se refiere a los sistemas que analizan el contenido hablado de la voz humana y lo convierten en caracteres. La voz hablada (convertida en código digital) se verifica contra un diccionario de registros de voz, bien de la persona que habla o de una voz genérica. 5, record 2, Spanish, - reconocimiento%20de%20la%20voz
