TS ISO/IEC 2382-29

TS ISO/IEC 2382-29 is the vocabulary part of the information technology series focused on speech recognition and speech synthesis. As a terminology and definitions standard, it helps align the technical language of the field, supports consistent use of concepts, and clarifies relationships among recorded entities across multilingual information technology documentation. This document presents selected terms and definitions together with their relationships.

How speech-technology terms are used

Speech recognition refers to technologies that convert human speech into machine-usable representations, while speech synthesis converts written or coded information into spoken output. In artificial intelligence and information technology, these areas connect with language processing, acoustic modelling, pattern recognition, and human-computer interaction. A vocabulary standard helps define the boundaries of such concepts so they can be used consistently in specifications, research, and technical communication.

What this part covers and what it does not

• It gives selected information technology concepts with terms and definitions.
• It identifies relationships among the concepts.
• It supports common terminology for international communication.
• It is centred on vocabulary use for speech recognition and synthesis.
• It is a terminology and concept standard, not a test or method standard.

This record represents a withdrawn edition, so it should be treated as a historical terminology reference. Even so, vocabulary standards of this kind remain useful for mapping older and newer technical documents, comparing naming conventions across sources, and maintaining conceptual consistency in documentation and translation.
