    I’ve been waiting to get the v2 model, but it’s taking so long I might make my own with a raspberry pi and their software.

        I thought they wrote their own STT engine? Guess it was a TTS though.

        After looking it up I do see what you’re talking about though. They say they proxy everything so your IP doesn’t touch the Google servers. But I also see you can run your own Mozilla DeepSpeech & use that instead, which seems like a decent option. It’s just not the default.

          Yes, it somewhat works, but it’s super fiddly and you have to provide your own pretrained models etc.

        big companies listen to your every word and sell your data to the highest bidder, including intelligence agencies. The posters are from WW2 where allied forces were warned Nazis sent their spies everywhere. In a sense, many modern conglomerates are organised like fascists, so the comparison fits like a glove. Thanks for reading my Ted talk.
