Episode 135 - Simple STT with Picovoice and Leopard

15 minutes

If you're working on a #VoiceFirst application that requires Speech to Text in a controlled environment (for example, on an embedded device or in a medical environment), you don't want to have to rely on cloud processing such as those available from Google or AWS. Even if you are willing to use the cloud, it may be cheaper to run your own STT service. Mark and Allen discuss one such way to do so - using the Leopard STT product from Picovoice.
