In Computer Science the term voice recognition[1][2][3][4][5][6] refers to finding the identify of "who" is speaking, rather than what they are saying. Recognizing the speaker|voice recognition can simplify the task of translating speech in systems that have been trained on specific person's voices or it can be used to authenticate or verify the identity of a speaker as part of a security process. "Voice recognition" means "recognizing by voice", something humans do all the time over the phone. As soon as someone familiar says "hello" the listener can identify them by the sound of their voice alone.

Computer Speech Recognition is the translation of spoken words (speech) into text. Voice Recognition is often confused with Speech Recognition but the identification of "who" is speaking is not the same activity as the recognition of what words are being spoken, even though the two are related.
