The downloads total a bit above 2GB for Mozilla Deepspeech 0.1.1, but besides that DeepSpeech is quick to set up and pretty performant on my i5-4200U (half realtime transcription) and its even better on my Ryzen box. Going to do some GPU testing tomorrow, need to clean up the docs on the little web frontend/API I've been trying to get ready for production use: https://github.com/AccelerateNetworks/DeepSpeech_Frontend

Not sure, but the results and info OP linked to are quite interesting: https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/DeepSpeech#released-models

Ah, I just asked a similar question of the person you initially replied to. The Baidu DeepSpeech 2 model seems appealing, but from my brief look on Github I haven't found the model files...
