Speech recognition technology (SRT) is now widely used in education because of its potential to aid learning, particularly language learning. Nevertheless, SRT has received only limited attention in earlier review studies. The present research aimed to address this gap in the field. To this end, 26 articles published in SSCI journals between 2014 and 2020 were selected and reviewed with respect to domain and skills, technology and their application, participants and duration, measures, reported results, and advantages and disadvantages of SRT. The results showed that English received much more attention than any other language, and scholars mostly focused on facilitating pronunciation skills. Dragon Naturally Speaking and Google speech recognition were the most popular technologies, and their most frequent application was providing feedback. According to the results, college students were involved in research more than any other group, most studies were carried out for less than one month, and most scholars administered a questionnaire or pre-/posttest to collect the data. Positive results related to gains in proficiency and student perceptions of SRT were identified. The study revealed that improved affective factors and enhanced language skills were advantages, whereas a low accuracy rate and insufficiency (i.e. lack of some useful features to support learning efficiently) of SRT were disadvantages. Based on the results, the study puts forward several implications and suggestions for educators and researchers in the field.

语音识别技术 (SRT) 现在广泛用于教育，因为它具有帮助学习，尤其是语言学习的潜力。然而，SRT 在早期的综述研究中只受到有限的关注。本研究旨在解决该领域的这一差距。为此，从SRT的领域和技能、技术及其应用、参与者和持续时间、措施、报告的结果以及SRT的优缺点等方面，对2014年至2020年间发表在SSCI期刊上的26篇文章进行了筛选和评述。结果表明，英语比其他任何语言都受到更多关注，学者们大多关注促进发音技能。Dragon Naturally Speaking 和 Google 语音识别是最流行的技术，它们最常见的应用是提供反馈。结果显示，大学生参与研究的次数多于其他任何群体，大多数研究进行时间不到一个月，大多数学者通过问卷或前/后测试来收集数据。确定了与熟练程度的提高和学生对 SRT 的看法相关的积极结果。该研究表明，改善情感因素和增强语言技能是优势，而 SRT 的准确率低和不足（即缺乏一些有用的特征来支持有效学习）是劣势。基于研究结果，本研究对该领域的教育工作者和研究人员提出了几点启示和建议。大多数学者通过问卷调查或前测/后测来收集数据。确定了与熟练程度的提高和学生对 SRT 的看法相关的积极结果。该研究表明，改善情感因素和增强语言技能是优势，而 SRT 的准确率低和不足（即缺乏一些有用的特征来支持有效学习）是劣势。基于研究结果，本研究对该领域的教育工作者和研究人员提出了几点启示和建议。大多数学者通过问卷调查或前测/后测来收集数据。确定了与熟练程度的提高和学生对 SRT 的看法相关的积极结果。该研究表明，改善情感因素和增强语言技能是优势，而 SRT 的准确率低和不足（即缺乏一些有用的特征来支持有效学习）是劣势。基于研究结果，本研究对该领域的教育工作者和研究人员提出了几点启示和建议。缺乏一些有用的功能来支持有效学习）是 SRT 的缺点。基于研究结果，本研究对该领域的教育工作者和研究人员提出了几点启示和建议。缺乏一些有用的功能来支持有效学习）是 SRT 的缺点。基于研究结果，本研究对该领域的教育工作者和研究人员提出了几点启示和建议。
