👉 Spoken computing refers to the technology that enables computers to understand, process, and respond to spoken language, effectively bridging the gap between human communication and digital interaction. This involves advanced speech recognition systems that convert spoken words into text, natural language processing (NLP) to interpret the meaning and context of this text, and text-to-speech (TTS) to convert digital responses back into audible speech. Together, these technologies allow for hands-free, voice-activated interactions with devices, making computing more accessible and intuitive. Applications range from virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa to voice-controlled smart home devices, enhancing user experience by allowing seamless communication without the need for typing or manual input.
