TS ISO/IEC 2382-29

TS ISO/IEC 2382-29 is the vocabulary part of the information technology series devoted to artificial intelligence concepts for speech recognition and speech synthesis. It supports international communication by defining terms and showing relationships among related entries, giving practitioners a common terminology for speech-based systems, language processing, and human-machine interaction.

How the terminology is organised

The scope brings together two closely linked speech technologies. Speech recognition concerns the conversion of spoken signals into a textual or symbolic representation, while speech synthesis concerns the generation of artificial speech from text or other input forms. As a vocabulary standard, this part is about conceptual clarity rather than product performance: it helps distinguish terms such as speech, language model, recognition output, and synthesis output, and shows how those concepts relate to one another in the information technology domain.

General technical context

Speech technologies are a core part of natural language processing and user interface design. Recognition systems are typically sensitive to noise, accent, speaking rate, and context; synthesis systems balance intelligibility, fluency, and naturalness. This standard helps align terminology across multilingual and interdisciplinary work, which is especially important where speech input and spoken output are integrated into software, devices, and communication services. This listing represents a withdrawn TSE edition, and the description reflects the subject area and terminological purpose of the document rather than any product-level claim.
