We are probably quite a few years away from everyone having their own personal robot, however automatic speech recognition (ASR) and interactive voice response (IVR) make communicating with our mobile devices for information that much easier. Think about how much Siri and other software platforms are used by our society today. West Interactive has put together a very cool graphic and comprehensive guide to how your devices learn to talk to you using automatic speech recognition. The guide covers the basics to how ASR works along with examples of ASR in action and also how voice recognition learns from you.
