#Mozilla Formally Discontinues Its #DeepSpeech Project
#MozillaDeepSpeech was a #speechtotext engine with great performance for real-time communication even when running on #RaspberryPi and other low-power systems.
Mozilla discontinuing DeepSpeech sadly doesn't as surprise. Last tagged release was 0.9.3 back in December 2020 and there hadn't been any Git activity since 2021.
Even in 2020 DeepSpeech was considered at risk of ceasing development following Mozilla layoffs.
