Re: Smart TVs
Having worked for one of the biggest speech companies (the ones behind Siri & all), I can tell you that current mobile processors (ARM, 2GHz) are fine for recognition on a limited set, like TomTom does for navigation or your car for operation.
So in theory it should be OK to process voice input on the TV locally for the sake of simple operation.
But accuracy suffers and learning your voice is near impossible, which is why most offload it to a bunch of powerful servers.
