Speech Recognition versus Voice Recognition

Although Speech Recognition and Voice Recognition are often mistakenly referred to as the same technology, the two definitely have different underlying technologies and applications.

Speech Recognition (SR) is the technology used in applications to interpret spoken words into usable data such as computer commands or word processing.

Voice Recognition (VR) is a security-based technology intended to identify and grant rights to a user based on the properties of his or her voice.
