Small models

In this section, we list online/streaming models with fewer parameters that are suitable for resource constrained embedded systems.

Hint

You can use them as a first pass model in a two-pass system, where the second pass uses a non-streaming model.

Hint

If you are using Raspberry Pi 4, this section is not so helpful for you since all models in sherpa-onnx are able to run in real-time on it.

This page is especially useful for systems with less resource than Raspberry Pi 4.
