I’d love a FOSS one that operated totally locally.



I think it exists already, but I make no claims as to the quality.

It’s crazy that ~10 years ago I tried a pirated copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking on a 700mHz single-core machine with 384MB of RAM and it was capable of recognising my speech locally but now they want us to believe that local speech recognition is impossible despite having 10x the processing power.


I still have a working copy of dragon, and it needs a lot of training. I presume alexas are supposed to work out of the box.


Training is a worthwhile trade off if the upside is complete privacy.
