Thanks for the clarification. I checked the code you linked and noticed
recognize_googleand seems it's relying on https://github.com/Uberi/speech_recognition which then seems to rely on https://github.com/Uberi/speech_recognition/blob/master/speech_recognition/recognizers/google.py so basically are they using an API, sending all the audio data to Google servers?Yes, this is how I read it as well. The library would support to use a local model, but they decided to just send the audio data to Google.
Might open up a GDPR related issue there. I don't think people using such a library assume they need connectivity nor that their data would be send to a 3rd party.
