Any info on Mozilla's speech recognition efforts?

Is the aim to do the actual work on the client?

Slightly related if anyone knows: is speech recognition a priority for the folks at Gnu/FSF?

The speech recognition effort span a few projects:

- https://voice.mozilla.org/ to collect training data.

- an implementation of the DeepSpeech algorithm, with a goal of running inference client side. (https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech)

GNU is more of an umbrella than an organization with research and goals. FSF is more focused, but mainly towards industry.

If you create a decent Siri/Alexa clone and license it under GPL, I'm sure GNU would be happy to adopt it. :)

That said, a quick web search dug up these:
