More than one in four people currently integrate speech recognition into their daily lives. A new algorithm developed by a University of Copenhagen researcher and his international colleagues makes it possible to interact with digital assistants like “Siri” without any internet connection. The innovation allows for speech recognition to be used anywhere, even in situations where security is paramount.

    Until now, speech recognition has relied upon a device being connected to the internet.

    My family’s Gateway 2000 had local speech recognition… in 1998. That machine had sixteen megs of memory and a 200 MHz P2.

    The fucking Macintosh Classic had local speech recognition. Yeah, it gave us “I helped Apple wreck a nice beach,” but things have improved since then.
