Ask HN: Best speech-to-text resource?

Anyone know any good speech to text resources Ive tried a few but they keep not writing down the correct words looking more free and open source links. I have terrible spelling and grammar as I suffer from Dyslexia and the speech to text kind of helps me. I can write but it's harder for myself then speaking. I can read ok my the spelling part is difficult as I mix words and letters up and spend most of my time just checking and rewriting large portions of my narratives.

If it's really important to you, latest pixel phone honestly. Google has an excellent implementation here.

  This app probably uses the same APIs and it’s free. Not as integrated into listening into the apps though. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.audio.hearing.visualization.accessibility.scribe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.aud...

If you're fine writing code to build a solution yourself, try the Conformer or ContextNet models in Nvidia NeMo (https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nemo/user-guide/docs/en/stable/starthere/intro.html https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nemo/user-guide/docs/en...) or Vosk (https://alphacephei.com/vosk/ https://alphacephei.com/vosk/), which nicely packages an API for Kaldi chain/LF-MMI models.

Is it only English? I used this and it’s amazing. Google live transcribe is great! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.audio.hearing.visualization.accessibility.scribe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.aud...

If you can code or know how to use some demos, you can give a try to Vosk, this is a opensource project with multiple implementations and language models, opensource as well, all of this offline. They have smalls and big models, for mobile apps, iot, asterisk, and much more https://alphacephei.com/vosk/ https://alphacephei.com/vosk/
