Global adoption of voice-activated in-car infotainment systems is rising as more nations introduce "hands-free" laws prohibiting using mobile devices while driving. The advancements that speech product developers are concentrating on are predicted to boost market expansion during the forecast. Using smartphone speech recognition technology, doctors and physicians can convert their voices into a rich, in-depth clinical description stored in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Shortly, the market is anticipated to be driven by the growing adoption of voice-enabled IoT devices in smart home automation. Many conventionally offline gadgets might benefit from IoT-enabled devices because they offer cutting-edge user experiences in addition to more conventional ones like touch displays and buttons.
Pattern recognition is used in speech and voice recognition technology to turn speech into a series of words. Users could get quick answers with speech and voice technologies by speaking to the systems instead of typing or scrolling the screen. As a result of continued advancements in Automated Speech Recognition (ASR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Machine Learning (ML), as well as the massive volume of data and accessibility of AI platforms, the ability to handle voice on a larger scale has also rapidly risen. For instance, in August 2021, LumenVox introduced an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) engine with transcription. The basis of the next-generation speech recognition technology, which provides precise speech-enabled customer experiences, is deep machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI).
The development of artificial intelligence is creating the potential for digitalization across industry verticals. The prevalence of AI-powered devices suggests that systems and search algorithms have advanced to enhance machine learning and its practical uses. A key illustration is Google's RankBrain, which uses the phrase and word recognition to learn, comprehend, and improve outcome prediction. Machine learning and natural language processing methods are utilized to transcript voice searches. Web conferencing tools have also become more commonplace in the sector. Web conferencing can be made even better using speech recognition technology by offering post-call transcripts through real-time call captioning, which has enhanced the speech recognition market CAGR across the globe in recent years.
Increased use of cutting-edge technologies like IoT, AI, and machine learning is what drives the growth of the speech recognition industry. As a result of voice-based authentications in smartphone applications, the need for voice and speech biometric systems has increased. Additionally, the demand for voice technologies is increasing due to the use of deep learning and neural networks in applications, including audio-visual speech recognition, isolated word identification, speaker adaption, and digital speaker recognition. Major players are concentrating on these newly developing technological developments to expand their operations in the long run. For instance, in April 2022, Speech recognition technology was introduced by Google LLC to improve the voice user interface. Google's Speech-to-Text API uses a neural sequence-to-sequence model to increase accuracy in 23 languages and 61 supported locales, another factor driving the speech recognition market revenue growth.
The Speech Recognition Market segmentation, based on technology, includes speech recognition and voice recognition. The speech recognition segment held the majority share in 2021 of the Speech Recognition Market revenue. Implementations of speech recognition are ideal for use in cars and mobile phones. Accessibility to data and services must be possible at all times and in all places due to society's growing mobility. The customer experience can be greatly improved by using cloud- and client-based speech recognition, and businesses can maximize cost savings.
The Speech Recognition Market segmentation, based on delivery methods, includes non-artificial and artificial intelligence-based. The non-artificial intelligence-based technology segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period 2022-2030. According to estimates, the market will continue to lead, increasing at a consistent CAGR between 2022 and 2030. The category of technology based on artificial intelligence, on the other hand, is anticipated to increase at the quickest rate throughout the projected period. As the system accurately recognizes speech patterns, there is a growing demand for artificial intelligence-based technology, which positively impacts market growth.
