Kõnesüsteemide

Kõnesüsteemide refers to speech systems in Estonian. This encompasses a broad range of technologies and concepts related to the production, transmission, and understanding of human speech. At its core, a kõnesüsteem involves the generation of sound waves by a speaker, which are then perceived by a listener. In the context of technology, kõnesüsteemid often refer to computer-based systems that interact with human speech.

These systems can be broadly categorized into two main areas: speech recognition and speech synthesis. Speech recognition, also known as automatic speech recognition (ASR), allows computers to understand spoken language and convert it into text. This is the technology behind voice assistants, dictation software, and automated customer service systems. Speech synthesis, conversely, involves generating artificial speech from text. Text-to-speech (TTS) engines are examples of speech synthesis, enabling devices to read out text, providing auditory information for visually impaired individuals or enhancing user interfaces.

More advanced kõnesüsteemid may also incorporate aspects of natural language processing (NLP) to interpret the meaning and context of spoken words, not just their phonetic components. This allows for more sophisticated interactions and a deeper understanding of user intent. The development and improvement of kõnesüsteemide are ongoing, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and acoustics.
