Think about a world where machines understand human language as naturally as we do. From chatting with Alexa to filtering spam emails, NLP is shaping the way we interact with technology. But how does it all work? Let’s dive into some of the most exciting real-world applications of NLP.

Ever used Google Translate while traveling? Machine translation instantly converts text between languages, making communication effortless.
🔹 Example: Translating “Hello, how are you?” into Spanish as “Hola, ¿cómo estás?”.

Ever dictated a message hands-free? ASR converts spoken language into written text, fueling voice assistants and transcription tools.
🔹 Example: Saying “Remind me to buy milk” and Siri transcribes it perfectly.

What if a screen could read itself out loud? TTS synthesizes speech from text, making technology accessible to all.
🔹 Example: Google Assistant reading the latest news articles aloud.
