Or, am I still not getting the point? The sentence I currently see is ""voice recognition" is different — it's about identifying who the speaker is, not the words they're saying." I believe this sentence would be more accurate if it were to say "... not necessarily the words they're saying." The Wikipedia disambiguation page is helpful in this regard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_recognition It suggests the distinction made by the current sentence is "speaker recognition" vs. "speech recognition". This English usage might be more subtle that is necessary in the WAI context, but if this is indeed what is meant in the WAI Style guide then I suggest it would be useful to adopt the Wikipedia phrasing ala "it's about recognizing the speaker, not necessarily the words they are using." -Ralph > Best, > ~Shawn > > > On 02-Feb-21 3:50 PM, Katie Haritos-Shea wrote: >> Yeah, but what about non-accessibility related speech recognition >> software, such as what is part of SIRI, Cortana, etc. and any voice >> enabled UI - who use both of the systems that were originally AT - >> voice recognition and screen reading speech software?
