This is mainly a log to indicate that this project is still very much alive. Google announced August 16th that it open sourced the Live Transcribe speech engine, with an accompanying github repo. What is especially interesting for this project is the following line in the github Readme.md:

• Extensible to offline models

I'll be dissecting the code in this repository for the next weeks, and I expect to get some good hints how to feed the models in my project with a correctly processed audio stream. And maybe I can even plug in the offline models directly and build an android app with it, who knows? More to come.
