Voice Recognition

Also known as: Speech Recognition, Voice Control, Voice Input

Technology that identifies and processes human speech to convert it into text or execute commands. Voice recognition serves as a critical assistive technology for people with motor disabilities who cannot use a keyboard or mouse, enabling them to navigate websites, dictate text, and control applications through spoken commands. Tools like Dragon NaturallySpeaking rely on proper semantic markup and keyboard-accessible interfaces to function effectively, making voice recognition compatibility an important consideration in accessible web design.
