This is tangential, but I wonder if something like this could be (mis)used to break captcha - by feeding in the disabled-friendly audio captcha and passing the results back to the captcha server. As voice recognition becomes more sophisticated I think captchas are going to have to evolve to kjeep up as well.

Don't forget Kaldi! https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi
The problem with Kaldi is that it's virtually impossible to get a dictation model working with Kaldi unless you have a doctorate in speech recognition. There is no "I know basic programming, but little about speech recognition" documentation for Kaldi.
I don't see why Mozilla would do this kind of things except to spread ressources. I know that it is an anecdote, but I don't know anyone who uses any kind of speech to text in part because they all suck if you don't speak english and even then..

Between learning curve and dependency hell, I've never managed good results with Kaldi, Simon, or Sphinx. It's unfortunate; hopefully we'll get an easy to use option soon.
I am very grateful for this release from Mozilla, and more generally for the broad vision of their effort. As time passes, the quest for openness and freedom in software moves higher up in the stack. Thanks to the latest ~30 years of effort, we basically came to a point in which we have free OSes, basic infrastructure, building tools, end-user applications. In the last ~10 years we changed paradigm: autonomous deskto…
I hold a rather uncommon view that a path to a more free society requires abundance of open source tools. In the software world we are getting closer, but the whole hardware world is still one big unmoving binary blob.
I make open source robots and I’m hoping to help in that area. But we need open source machine tools, open source factories, and open manufacturing processes. There’s lots of work do be done in hardware land.

It’s exciting to see open source RISC-V gaining momentum on the HW world

The model we released today is not yet optimized for smaller devices like that, but our plan is to make it usable on targets like the RPi3.
Are you releasing any prebuilt models, I searched but couldn't find any, so people can go and play with your work without training? Edit: NM found it under releases: https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/releases .

OMG, C++??? I thought Mozilla folks would give Rust a spin.
