[Athen] [EXT] Speech Recognition or Speech to Text

[Robert Beach]

Speech recognition is a more general term. This can be used for items such as Siri when you are not necessarily generating text, but giving voice commands. Speech-to-text is more related to dictation. I usually do not use the term speech-to-text but use dictation instead. However, I generally default to speech recognition as the term I use.

ATHENers,
We are having a debate in our office about when we Dragon software or other similar software should we call it "Speech to Text" or "Speech Recognition" technology.   Which do you use when describing this technology to people at your university?  I have always used Speech recognition but some people thought Speech to Text was more understandable.
