I’ve used it for a while in German and in English and I was impressed, too, with its recognition performance. Even the small and therefore fast language models perform decently. However, a major downside is that it doesn’t do punctuation, new lines, capitalization, and similar. This means that you have to edit a lot of the recognized text by hand, which obviously spoils the fun. Having said that, the front end code is in python and you can easily hack it. With a small handful of lines of code I was able to address some of these issues somewhat.
- nshm 5y agoWe are working on punctuation/capitalization. Models are ready but not yet integrated. German BERT-based model is available at https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models#punctuation-models https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models#punctuation-models for example. Should be ready soon.
- follower 5y agoWas just about to mention this repo to the OP but suspect I found it from your site in the first place: https://github.com/benob/recasepunc https://github.com/benob/recasepunc :D Punctuation/capitalization will make a massive difference to practical use! Look forward to it.
