We have reached an important milestone in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology, with major industrial AI companies, such as Samsung, Google, Apple, and Amazon releasing high-quality ASR models that run completely on-device, e.g., on consumer smartphones. This is the consequence of giant strides in technological advancements: from making commercial grade ASR systems feasible; to large scale cloud deployments; to the present day state-of-the-art models that run on resource constrained devices.
