Field notes

The project models inputs as finite choice sets rather than open-ended writing. Its examples include routing inquiry emails, selecting stations by voice, navigating 195 river-camera locations, and issuing camera-control commands with confirmation for risky actions. The Android description says recognition runs on-device after a first model download, with a 39 MB arm64 package and no later network requirement. Benchmark figures are project-reported and include synthetic speech and public image datasets.
