  When I looked a while back, CMUSphinx seemed to be the most promising option but I struggled to get it installed and got distracted with real work. Some discussions online suggest it’s still fairly poor compared to the online engines. Snips was mentioned here recently but I haven’t taken a look at it.

    I had a working cmusphinx setup at one point. It was so bad that I eventually just tore it down. It showed promise, but I don't know if any work is being done on it.

    CMUSphinx is really old. Kaldi is hard to use, but it's much better.

      The first time I read this I misunderstood it's meaning. I now believe the parent is discussing the differences in usability not output. In which case I completely agree. However I will say that for my company's use case a properly configured sphinx install produces better results than kaldi. However, getting to a point where you can say that was not an easy task. Additionally, I actually believe that for most workloads that kaldi is likely better. Not ours though.
