      I thought they wrote their own STT engine? Guess it was a TTS though.

      After looking it up I do see what you’re talking about though. They say they proxy everything so your IP doesn’t touch the Google servers. But I also see you can run your own Mozilla DeepSpeech & use that instead, which seems like a decent option. It’s just not the default.

        Yes, it somewhat works, but it’s super fiddly and you have to provide your own pretrained models etc.
