  Espressif ESP-SR is a speech recognition framework enabling on-device speech recognition on ESP32 and ESP32-S3 wireless microcontrollers with the latter being recommended due to its vector extension for AI acceleration and larger, high-speech octal SPI PSRAM.

• [GNOME/Outreachy] Jose Hunter: My Career Goals

  I have been increasingly disillusioned and disappointed by corporate technology. The absolute dumpster fire of Twitter and the issues present at Reddit has also reminded me how absolutely horrible these massive tech companies are. I do not want to be another underpaid cog in a massive contraption that is only making our world worse.

I want my work to reflect my values, and to stand for something more than just profit.
