Open Source ChromeOS Speech to Text Software

Whisper is a general-purpose speech recognition model. It is trained on a large dataset of diverse audio and is also a multitasking model that can perform multilingual speech recognition, speech translation, and language identification. A Transformer sequence-to-sequence model is trained on various speech processing tasks, including multilingual speech recognition, speech translation, spoken language identification, and voice activity detection. These tasks are jointly represented as a sequence of tokens to be predicted by the decoder, allowing a single model to replace many stages of a traditional speech-processing pipeline. The multitask training format uses a set of special tokens that serve as task specifiers or classification targets.

It provides an interactive speech to text application that uses sphinx 4. With this you can use pre-recorded audio, record your own voice and convert incompatible audio/video to be compatible with sphinx 4. It currently supports U.S English by using hub4 acoustic and language model.

ILA stands for (kind of) intelligent, learning assistant and is a speech recognition system aka voice assistant very similar to Siri, Google Now and Cortana. ILA is fully customizable and you can teach her/him/it new things by yourself like executing system commands, opening web pages, programs and apps or just some basic conversation :-) ILA runs on Java und thus is compatible to Windows, Mac and Linux. It is designed to integrate with your home enviroment and for example build up your own, free and open Amazon Echo replacement ;-) Right now the key components of ILA are the open source speech recognition CMU Sphinx-4, Google (Speech Recognition/Text-To-Speech) and MaryTTS (Text-To-Speech). The goal is to make ILA completely free of Google by improving all aspects of the open source systems. Since version 3.3 users can also write own add-ons to extend ILA. ILA's successor is the SEPIA Framework: https://sepia-framework.github.io/ Hope you enjoy ILA - Florian

Voice Conference Manager uses VoiceXML and CCXML to control speech recognition, text to speech, and voice biometrics for a telephone conference service. Say the names or numbers of people and VCM places them into the call. Can be hosted on public servers

Software to fit whole-sentence language models using the principle of maximum entropy. For developers of speech recognizers, text prediction interfaces, OCR, machine translation software.
