Does an apk for Android exist for replacing its speech to text engine? I tried sherpa-onnx but it was too slow for real time usage it seemed, and especially so for audiobooks when sped up.

I can't test this out right now, is this just a demo or is it actually an apk for replacing the engine? Because those are two different things, the latter can be used any time you want to read something aloud on the page for example. This is the sherpa-onnx one I'm talking about.
