I used to work in the speech reco space for many years. Fighting this battle was lost long long long ago. Virtually no one outside of the space really cares, and people use speech and voice recognition interchangeably. It’s really more the case that voice recognition is just an ambiguous term.

It’s pretty hard to blame lay people when speech reco products like Dragon are widely marketed as “voice recognition”.

If you want to be clear and not just pedantic just call it speaker recognition.
