Speaker-dependent speech recognition

Also known as: User-adapted ASR, Personalized speech recognition

A speech recognition approach that trains or adapts its acoustic models to a specific individual's voice characteristics, rather than relying solely on general population models. For people with cognitive disabilities, dysarthria, or other speech differences, speaker-dependent systems can achieve substantially higher recognition accuracy by learning the user's unique speech patterns, pronunciation, and vocabulary over time.
