I think that you are under-estimating the processing power required to do speech to text. The likes of Siri and Alexa use large computer clusters in the cloud to do their stuff. The phone is merely an I/O device. Since the RPi has about the same processing power as a cheap smartphone, you might get more usable results using Google Cloud for both speech to text and text to speech.

  Looks really good. Thanks for the link. I scanned the research paper, but didn't see a download link. Did you find a download for it somewhere?

    That's the thing. I've found a ton of info on random digital assistants not made by a large company[0] and I even found a 13 year old who made a digital assistant with the RPi[1] but I can't find a download for stand alone speech to text software from a trusted website. I'm likely going to use my phone's (Google's) dictation software and a Bluetooth dongle for the Pi.
