Continuous

Continuous Mode in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is designed for applications where the spoken input is open-ended and not limited to a predefined set of commands.
Instead of matching speech against a fixed vocabulary, the ASR engine processes free-flowing language in real time, enabling more natural and flexible interactions.

In this mode, once the speech is transcribed, an NLU (Natural Language Understanding) module can be used to interpret the meaning of the spoken text, extract relevant information, and trigger the appropriate actions.

Key advantages of Continuous Mode

1. Flexibility for Natural Speech
   Continuous Mode can recognize a wide range of words and phrases without needing them to be pre-defined, making it ideal for conversational interfaces, dictation, and virtual assistants.

2. Supports Complex Interactions
   This mode allows users to speak naturally, using varied vocabulary and sentence structures, without having to memorize specific commands. The NLU module then interprets the recognized text to determine user intent and context.

When to use Continuous Mode

• Your application needs to understand varied and unpredictable input.

• You require natural, human-like interaction between the user and the system.

• You plan to use an NLU module to analyze the recognized speech and map it to actions or responses.

Examples

• Dictating notes or reports in real time.

• Asking open-ended questions to a support assistant.

• Conversational control of devices or software with intent detection.
