1. Automatic speech recognition
Technology & Computing · Artificial Intelligence Abbreviations
The technology and research field of converting spoken language into text by computer, the engine behind voice assistants, dictation software, call-center analytics and automatic captions.
Example: The ASR model's word error rate fell to 6 percent on the noisy call-center recordings.
Bell Labs' "Audrey" system recognized spoken digits in 1952. Hidden Markov models dominated from the 1980s until deep neural networks took over in the 2010s. Accuracy is measured by word error rate (WER). ASR is the research term, while speech-to-text is more common in product names.
2. Army Service Ribbon
Military · Military Award and Decoration Abbreviations
US Army ribbon awarded to soldiers who complete initial entry training, or to officers who complete their basic course, usually the first ribbon a new soldier earns.
Example: Fresh out of AIT, he wore the ASR and the National Defense Service Medal.
Established in 1981. It is awarded only once. In other contexts ASR means automatic speech recognition, a common technology term. It ranks near the bottom of the Army order of precedence and is earned by nearly every soldier.
