It was discontinued 5 years ago - I’m not sure why it took so long to archive the repo.

I've been using Nvidia's parakeet model, it's been better than Whisper v3 large and smaller. Only supports English.

It seems that the team that used to work on DeepSpeech then worked on coqui-ai STT https://github.com/coqui-ai/STT and now recommends using OpenAI Whisper (https://github.com/openai/whisper)

I still prefer festival, it's fast, it's in all the package repos, and I don't like automations having realistic voices.
