Overview
Speech-to-Text On Device enables speech technology on embedded devices. This feature allows you to run streaming speech recognition fully on device, without any connection to a network or Google servers. The on-device solution offers several benefits for this use case when compared to a server-side solution: Speech recognition is available even if the device isn't connected to the network or network connection is limited, and the user's data doesn't leave the device.
