Hey Product Hunt! I'm Sahil.
I've been building voice agents and kept running into the same delay: speech-to-text waits for each word to end before it shows it, so the agent can't start working until then. Earlybird outputs words before the speaker finishes speaking them. On audiobook speech the median word is predicted correctly 90 ms before it's fully spoken, where other streaming models get it right 90 to 400 ms after. The model is 17 MB and runs on a CPU.
Getting the word before it's finished is a neat trick. Does it work for languages other than English yet?
