So by open sourced I assume this means there are absolutely no Facebook dependencies where the voice is passing through a Facebook server? Sorry, have to ask, as my trust level is low. Otherwise, awesome!


The repository (https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter) claims to come with pre-trained models for automated speech recognition.


that's cool! I wonder how it works against podcasts


> Trained models: ...

I think I remember a similar thing happening with previous wav2letter releases.

I would love for a simple tutorial on just using a pretrained model but that feels unlikely to ever happen


The models are here: https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter/tree/master/r... https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter/tree/master/r...


Yes, nothing goes through Facebook servers. The model will be run locally on the machine.


Not only does it mean that, it means that you can look at the source code yourself rather than asking the question on HN
