What? You are comparing processing a NN. How is that comparing on "own terms"?
Did the old methods use neutral networks? I wouldn't be surprised if they did, but I would be surprised if they were as deep of networks as what people use today.
That is, I am interested in comparing them on speed of transcription, speech synthesises, error rates, etc. Not on speed of network execution.

No the old method did NOT use NN. I hope Google writes a paper and shares more details.
It is hard to believe they are able to do 16k samples a second through a NN even with the TPUs.
So be curious to see if reduced and how much?
If they really do have the ability to do 16k a second at scale that opens the door for all kinds of other applications.
Not to say that the likes of the echo and others aren't impressive. Just that the speech recognition is the least of those products. Fully transcribed voice mail was available for years with Google voice (even before it was Google voice), yet that seems to happen less now than it did when I first for the product.
So what changed? And why?
