Live speech-to-text on an ESP32-P4 microcontroller, no cloud

Summary

A developer has built an open-vocabulary streaming speech recognizer that runs entirely on an ESP32-P4 microcontroller, with no cloud and no neural accelerator. It adapts the Kroko streaming model by compressing its weights to 2 and 4 bits, fitting in 26.65 MB on a microSD card.
