About this paper

Sahil Mahendrakar

Earlybird trains a small streaming speech recognizer on audio cutoffs matching live use so it can display complete words from partial sounds with confidence scores. On LibriSpeech test-clean, its median word first appears correctly 90 ms before acoustic end, compared with released streaming models that show words 90–400 ms after it. This measures audio-relative output timing, not end-to-end agent response time.
