Overview
Speech-to-Text On-Device enables server-quality 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 is not connected to the network or network connection is limited, and the user's data does not leave the device.
