Could you build this?
No Training custom, production-grade low-latency multilingual speech-to-text models for noisy Hinglish speech requires extensive proprietary audio datasets and deep speech ML engineering.
What it would actually take: This requires collecting and labeling thousands of hours of accented and code-switched Hindi-English audio, fine-tuning or training acoustic and language models (e.g. Conformer, Whisper, or CTC-based architectures) on GPU clusters, and optimizing streaming inference with TensorRT-LLM/ONNX to hit sub-200ms latency. It demands specialized speech recognition researchers, extensive data pipeline engineering, and high-performance C++ inference infrastructure.
