Standard ASR

Standard ASR

The open standard interface between applications and speech-recognition engines.

Standard ASR defines a vendor-neutral protocol. Applications integrate speech-to-text once and gain every compliant engine; engines implement it once and reach every application. Think USB-C for ASR inference.

Pre-release: Standard ASR is a work in progress. Breaking changes may occur before v1.0.0. Try it out and tell us what you think.
