Can you plug this into a computer on your premises to get speech recognition without amazon, apple or google's cloud (or any other cloud) involvement?

Right now I decline all speed recognition because I don't want orwellian listening devices in my house or pocket and haven't seen an answer. (Also haven't been too bothered about speech command interfaces to bother with a load of research - lazy me).

Btw, Apple's speech recognition can work completely offline, on-device. Not sure about Google or Microsoft, though.

Yes, after the download of the model weights (from https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/) it's an entirely offline process.
