Abstract

Natural language processing is the technology used to aid computers to understand the human’s natural language. However this is not an easy task to teach a machine to understand how humans communicate. This paper provides a summary of information about some speech recognition techniques that are in the literature for new scholars to look into. It also discusses related work along with efficiency comparison for different natural languages. After that, a brief summary of Urdu language and related work done in Urdu language processing issues and challenges is presented. In the last part, future work is proposed for efficient processing of Urdu language along with some useful techniques.
