v1.3.0: Preparation and Fixes for Next Generation of Models

This should be included the next dragonfly version, or you can try a self-contained distribution available below.

You can subscribe to announcements on Gitter: see instructions.

Notes

• Next Generation of Models: support for a new generation of models, trained on more data, and with hopefully better accuracy.
• User Lexicon: if there is a user_lexicon.txt file in the current working directory of your initial loader script, its contents will be automatically added to the user_lexicon.txt in the active model when it is loaded.
• Various bug fixes & optimizations

Artifacts

• kaldi_model_daanzu*: A better acoustic model, and varying levels of language model for dictation (bigger is generally better).
• kaldi_model_zamia: A compatible general English Kaldi nnet3 chain model.
• kaldi-dragonfly-winpython: [stable release version] A self-contained, portable, batteries-included (python & libraries & model) distribution of kaldi-active-grammar + dragonfly2. Just unzip and run!
