Speech Recognition to Play Audio

I'm sorry if this has been covered, but I don't best know how to find what I'm looking for. I am looking to build a "training program" where new employees can ask a client a question, and the client responds based on the question. For example, if the employee asks for the client's name, they will respond with the name. If they ask for an address, etc. I would like the audio to be already recorded and saved somewhere, ready to be played when "activated" if you will by the employees words.

  1. What keywords should I use to find help/documentation on the internet, or in books for this type of process besides just "speech recognition" and also:
  2. What programming language(s) should I look to program this in?

Thanks for any help, I'm prepared to start from square 1 and go from there.

Try cmusphinx, read their wiki and i recommend you start from the top by reading their excellent guide to basics about speech recognition concepts.

This is only the toolkit, it doesn't give you a wide catalog of reference sounds or models, which means that you will reasonably only be able to implement simple commands and it will be a lot of work.

See their FAQ specifically about accuracy problems.

Keywords

There's nothing wrong with "Speech Recognition", if you want aliases, pick one of the following from Wikipedia.

In computer science, speech recognition (SR) is the translation of spoken words into text. It is also known as "automatic speech recognition", "ASR", "computer speech recognition", "speech to text", or just "STT"
