Hi Gary, Thank you for your feedback, I recorded your issue here: - https://github.com/w3c/wai-showcase-examples/issues/317 I think you may be technically correct but that "voice recognition" is more commonly understood. A quick web search on my computer returns ~10 million hits for "voice recognition" versus ~6 million hits for "speech recognition". Maybe we could add "speech recognition" in brackets after "voice recognition" in the first sentence below the video?

Voice recognition is more about and is used for biometrics, rather than for dictation and spoken control of one's computer. That's my understanding, at least, but am very curious about your thoughts on this. > > * https://www.w3.org/WAI/perspectives/voice.html > > > * http://www.armorvox.com/voice-biometrics-vs-speech-recognition/ > > * https://www.google.com/search?num=50&newwindow=1&safe=off&site=&source=hp&q=speech+recognition+vs+voice+recognition&oq=speech+recognition+vs+&gs_l=hp.3.1.0l4j0i22i30k1l3.904.5162.0.7325.14.13.0.1.1.0.230.1452.0j9j1.10.0..2..0...1c.1.64.hp..3.10.1313.0..46j0i46k1j0i131k1.BpPwudJd2vU > All the best, > Gary > > Gary M.
