New open-source speech recognition tech for Linux, which might be very useful for on-the-go messaging with Chatty, for example.
Press release: VoIPster Communications President Launches Open-Source Voice Dictation Solution for Linux -- VoIPster Communications, Inc | PRLog
Nice! Finally advanced past OS/2 Warp 4, which had Voice Command (worked great) and Voice Type Dictation (way ahead of it’s time, but not great) in 1998. All that out of the box on only 8MB of RAM and full install of OS less than 60MB.
Seriously though, this is a great thing.
On the one hand it is, on the other hand it uses non fully ethical AI. OpenAI does train their models with external data and only do not use those who opt-outed (and how many people do?). Otherwise, it’s not the worst AI company since they respect at least opt out which others do not.
