'Ok Google' is a different problem though - needs to be a low resource, always-on listener with a low false-positive rate. That's quite a different problem space than general speech-to-text.

I think I get about 50% hit rate with 'OK Google' and I'm a native English speaker :).



I had the weirdest conversation with my phone this morning, and I'm a native English speaker with nothing really identifiable as an accent.

"Okay, Google." Nothing.

"Okay, Google." Nothing.

"Okay, Google fucking work or I am taking a hammer to this fucking phone." "DING!"

Apparently threats of violence still work against our machine overlords.
