hi im maintaining a open source fork of a wisper-to-input app for android .
repo GitHub - aptdnfapt/whisper-gemini-to-input: An Android keyboard that performs speech-to-text (STT/ASR) with OpenAI Whisper+gemini and input the recognized text; Supports English, Chinese, Japanese, etc. and even mixed languages.
but the vms are too slow to work with . i have installed rustdesk to get around the vnc delay on browser . the over all ubuntu vm is smooth but the vm for testing the apps aka android vms are quite slow . Here is a picture of sys isnt responding happening way too many times . is there way to get better performance and fixing this . Maybe using a specific vm ? or version ?
Unfortunately this is a limitation of Firebase being a “Preview” service provided for free by Google after the recent acquisition of IDX.
This has been my experience but I still find this service valuable, even with its limitations.
It simply requires patience and creative workarounds to remain productive when issues like this arise.
With time, this should reach General Availability (GA) and be more stable, but we will have to wait a few more weeks or months for that to happen as the developers work diligently on the Firebase team.
