Obviously the big cloud players offer their own APIs and SDKs (for a price), but there are a few other solutions worth looking at.

Facebook has open sourced some pre-trained models: https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter

Picovoice has some smaller, more efficient models capable of running on edge devices: https://github.com/Picovoice

Full ASR does require quite large models and datasets, but you don't need nearly that much power or data to fine-tune a model for your own domain.

This looks really neat and it's definitely fun to play around with. I can't resist playing around with tools like this for a few minutes, but I've never really figured out what they're good for.

What am I supposed to learn from them? What is the actionable information? That's not really a criticism, I just feel like I'm missing something.
