+# Speech Recognition Exercise
+
-
- 
-
+This project delves into the realm of speech recognition, aiming to convert spoken language into written text. By leveraging various libraries and technologies, the project transcribes audio from diverse sources and applies a range of recognition engines.
-
- 
-
+## Data Source
+The project utilizes various audio samples as primary data sources. These samples encompass diverse speech patterns, accents, and languages to ensure robustness in recognition.
-
- 
-
+## Libraries Used
+The project utilizes a variety of libraries to facilitate speech recognition and data analysis:
+- `SpeechRecognition`: Primary library for speech-to-text conversion.
+- `Google Cloud Services`: Cloud-based recognition engines.
+- `Apache Spark`: For large-scale data processing and analysis.
-
+## Analysis
+The project's primary objective is to transcribe spoken language with high accuracy. To achieve this, the analysis involves:
+- Audio Processing: Direct audio capture from microphones and handling pre-recorded audio files.
+- Recognition Engines: Integration with Google Web Speech API, Google Cloud Speech API, CMU Sphinx, and other engines.
+- Diarization: Using algorithms to separate speakers in the audio files, thus attributing spoken content to individual participants.
+- Model Optimization: Techniques and algorithms to enhance the accuracy of transcriptions.
+- Data Analysis: Utilizing Apache Spark for large-scale data processing and analysis of transcribed data.
-Speech-Recognition-Exercise:
