       | I like these projects but they all have one flaw: the "open
       | source" part refers only to the easy frontend, not to the backend
       | doing the heavy lifting. With time, chances of CMUSphinx
       | succeeding are getting lower because everybody is using
       | proprietary APIs.

         | That's a great idea as for the next engine to add. The plan is
         | to have multiple ones and not only Google's Speech API.

       | If anyone is interested, Mozilla's Deepspeech
       | (https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech) is also quite a solid
       | open source offline alternative, and runs quite well even on low-
       | end hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

         | Speaker Diarization, which Google Speech API supports.

       | As an alternative to Google Cloud Speech check out
       | https://www.speechly.com/. A lot easier to get started with and
       | doesn't require a credit card. Has support for all the major
       | browsers both desktop and mobile. If you are interested in a
       | note-taking CRM application this demo is worth watching

       | I have bookmarked this a while ago. May not be open source, and
       | does not use the internet to convert. Would work for many use
       | cases, but wont be as good as Google's AI.
       | 
       | works with just the browser with help of webkitSpeechRecognition
       | built into the browser. Works on both Chrome and Safari (not
       | Firefox).
