This project doesn't look like it's particularly easy to build: https://github.com/facebookresearch/wav2letter/blob/master/d...

The problem with Kaldi is that it's not a turnkey solution for a speech recognition system, but a collection of libraries and shell scripts that can be used to build your own system, assuming you're a researcher in speech recognition or are willing to put in the time to become one. A long list of dependencies appears less daunting in comparison.
