Deep Speech 2: End-to-End Speech Recognition in English and Mandarin

Deep Speech 2, developed by Baidu, is a deep learning-based speech recognition system that directly transcribes speech into text. It uses a recurrent neural network trained on large datasets to handle various accents, background noise, and speaking styles. This end-to-end approach simplifies the traditional speech recognition pipeline and has shown impressive results in both English and Mandarin.
