Summary
Speech recognition technology has made significant progress in the last decade, but it still faces challenges such as regional variations in speech, accents, age-related differences, and technical factors like audio quality and compression. To improve accuracy, it's essential to use high-quality codecs like G.711, record audio in a controlled environment, and filter out background noise using tools like Audacity. Channels, including stereo, surround sound, and mono, can also impact recognition, with separate channels required for accurate transcription. Additionally, factors like sampling rate, buffer size, and audio quality are crucial to achieving optimal ASR performance.
