Introduction to Speech Recognition
Please repeat what the computer says. 
Speak clearly in your normal voice. 
Do not talk too fast, or too slowly. 
After you speak, the computer will write down# what you have said.
If you do not speak everything, do not worry.
The computer will speak# any remaining words again. 
This speech training will help the computer# better recognize your voice. 
It also gives you an idea# of what it is like to talk to a computer. 
You may take a break, at any time,# by clicking on Pause. 
Click Train to continue with training. 
If you get stuck on a word,# just click on Skip to skip that word and continue. 
If you happen to say the wrong word,# and the computer thinks it is correct, do not stop.
Just continue with the training. 
You do not have to make any corrections now. 
Speech recognition is an exciting technology.
It promises to change the way# we work with computers. 
This technology has been under development# for many years. 
Although speech recognition holds great promise,# scientists are still working to improve it. 
Understanding some of the limits# will help you get the most out of this# or any speech recognition system that you may use.
Remember, the microphone hears everything,# but sometimes it does not hear you# speaking very well! 
The room may be noisy, or you spoke too quickly,# or the microphone may not be adjusted properly.
It is important to work in a quiet area.
It is also important to use a good quality microphone.
Speak carefully at an even speed.
The more that you train,# the better the system will recognize your voice.
In addition to the training texts provided,# feel free to use your own text files# in further training.
