Why would you work with google when there are much more accurate open source speech recognizers based on Kaldi? With that specific usecase it is very easy to beat Google on accuracy.

I think google as the primary engine results in stuff like this: https://github.com/osprey-voice/osprey-starter-pack/blob/mas...

On the other hand it’s probably better at general (non command) English.

Yeah it uses a lot of machine learning and context based inference, which is great for dictating phrases but less so for commands.

Actually I don't think I ended up testing kaldi because it seemed difficult to set up but I'll give it a try now that you mention it.

Ok, if you want to start with Kaldi it is probably easier to check kaldi-active-grammar mention above or https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api
