I like these projects but they all have one flaw: the "open source" part refers only to the easy frontend, not to the backend doing the heavy lifting. With time, chances of CMUSphinx succeeding are getting lower because everybody is using proprietary APIs.
I have bookmarked this a while ago. May not be open source, and does not use the internet to convert. Would work for many use cases, but wont be as good as Google's AI.
works with just the browser with help of webkitSpeechRecognition built into the browser. Works on both Chrome and Safari (not Firefox).
As an alternative to Google Cloud Speech check out https://www.speechly.com/. A lot easier to get started with and doesn't require a credit card. Has support for all the major browsers both desktop and mobile. If you are interested in a note-taking CRM application this demo is worth watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GcgPcMOuQk
If anyone is interested, Mozilla’s Deepspeech (https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech) is also quite a solid open source offline alternative, and runs quite well even on low-end hardware like a Raspberry Pi.
Thanks, I had no idea. Any idea why this happened? The devs don’t appear to be incompetent in any way.
Do you also have any idea how Coqui currently compares to the un-maintained deepspeech?
