Nicely done! I saw you're building a cloud version so wanted to refer the excellent https://github.com/sonosaurus/sonobus which you might be able to integrate. All the best!

This is awesome. Adopted it in my personal pi-mono repo :)

It had some bugs around whitespace replacements but the model seems happy with it now.

Thanks and keep it up! Shoutout to @jahala for tilth as well.

Hey Rohan, congratulations on the publication.

I was trying to feed it an assembly drawing as an example, and the research preview on Hugging Face did not generate any results resembling the drawing. Could you give some advice on what is a good input?

Thanks!

One example of a drawing is https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/418/1377-CrimpTool-121032..., I also tried cropping out parts of the drawing to no avail

Hearing ability overall doesn't decrease with age per se. Hearing aids are common, but not in the 30 plus population. Our hearing does evolve in the ultra high frequency range, at 12kHz and above, but I'd argue that's not a very useful part of our range anyway, unlike the octaves our human voice ranges in. I'd say hearing and especially listening gets better with age, so investing in better acoustics is always a great experience.
