Voice is just an input device like a keyboard is.

Why do we see companies fighting over this technology, but didn't we see those fights back in the days when the keyboard was invented?

Also, why is open-source lacking behind? Surely there's plenty of free training data available, so that can't be the reason.




Because this stuff is very compute-intensive and that is simply expensive.

Also, I don't think there is as much free training data publicly available as Google or Amazon have gathered privately.

Also, how would people feel if their keyboard would need to connect to Google or Amazon in order to operate?
