Field notes
The creator says he trained a pre-existing speech model locally using roughly six hours of recordings, after finding ordinary speech recognition unusable for his own voice. The pilot asks participants to read short sentences at home, with a pause prompt every 20 sentences and the option to continue in later blocks. The page frames this as a small investigation, not a validated product.
