Speech Recognition 1 story
Speech Recognition appears within AI Models & Concepts as a focused layer with its own requirements, tradeoffs, and compatibility questions. Coverage uses automatic speech recognition, ASR, speech to text, and voice transcription to explain function, setup, support boundaries, and interactions with the rest of the platform. This keeps Speech Recognition narrower than AI Models & Concepts as a whole while giving readers enough context to make configuration or compatibility decisions and recognize when a problem-specific tag is more appropriate.
