"The technology that enables the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers."

In short

What is ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition)?

The technology that enables the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers. Botcadence teams apply this in production with Voice Agents.

Deep Dive

In the context of AI Voice Agents, ASR is the 'ears' of the system. It captures the user's audio, filters out background noise, and converts the speech into a text format that the LLM can then process and respond to. Engineering teams treat ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) as an infrastructure choice: measure quality KPIs, set latency or accuracy budgets, and keep fallbacks when inputs degrade.
