    What hardware is it running on that takes 15 seconds? I’ve not actually tried it myself as I’ve got a poor little RPi 3, and I don’t want to scare it.

      The M5stack atom echo. The hardware is the same, but if you change the pipeline in the back end between the two, that’s where the delay happens. You can run the Whisper stack locally or on another box locally but I think you’d want a good GPU on it to offload the NL processing to. Which is probably what happens when you’re using the Nabu Casa pipeline.
