It would be awesome to see open source speech-to-text becoming a viable option. Has anyone tested this out? Impressions of its usability?

Has anyone tested this out? Impressions of its usability?
- amelius 9y agoTotally agree on that. For example, imho it is getting a bit ridiculous that Linux has a driver for just about any text-input device out there, except speech.
- mynewtb 9y agoSpeech input is not text input. I don't understand what you mean.
- git_rancher 9y agoHe means speaking commands (to a shell I presume) rather than type them.
- kleiba 9y agoWhat about Kaldi? Do you not consider that a viable option?
- hiddencost 9y agoI made an embarrassing amount of money back when I was a consultant, just helping people get Kaldi working in their production environments or small tweaks to the models. I really don't consider it viable unless you're in the field, and it's especially not viable in a production environment.
- confounded 9y agoThat’s a shame to hear, I’ve always has high hopes for it. What makes it less suitable for production compared to TF? Is it just the Kafkaesque build process (admittedly I last tried a year ago), or is model-fitting or prediction especially buggy?
- earenndil 9y agoI haven't used it, but I think I read that they have 6-10% error rate?
