Hi Rweworld and welcome to EnglishForward

Both same but when googled the results are

Recognition= 87 200 000

Recognization = 19 200 000

in use. So, to me "Character/speech or language recognition".

Hi yulysess

Thanks for reply. When i google it i got spelling check for Recognization and suggestion for change to Recognition. And i'm getting spell check error for US English but for UK English no error message in MS World. So i'm confuse is that world like Recognization or not?

Once again thanks for your reply.

you're welcome Rw,

and, I think, the word " Recognization" is used commonly in "computer relating" issues.

For native English speakers recognition is the only word that exists. Recognization is a word invented by scientists (probably not native English speakers) who have no proper knowledge of the English language. Recognization can only exist if you accept the existence of the word cognization. In the same way the verb will have to be recognizate.

0 Just a clarification:02br
00Recognization is a historically valid variation of Recognition (there are quotes from the early 1700s using it). As English speakers got lazy, the longer form became obsolete to the point that some people deny its existence. 02br
00It was not "invented" recently, nor was it indicative of "not native English speakers." Claims of that sort are unsubstantiated, and anyone blindly insisting that recognition is the "only" form of the word is a militant reactionary in denial of historical reality. 0-

according to your logic the verb related to the noun personalization would have to be personalizate.. I don't think so!

Many people will not have heard of "recognization" and would likely respond with "huh?" or "what?" and then wonder if it is a real word.

So let me get this straight.  Since there are examples of someone using a word that is really not a word from the 1700's, that makes it a real word?  That would make irregardless and conversate words as well.  Right?  These are all examples of enough people using a non-standard or slang word often enough so that it's passed on enough to the point where it actually ends up in a dictionary. The words and grammar used in conversation and print in the US has become embarrassing.  I'm sure my freshman English Grammar professor is rolling in his grave.
