dr_cintas · x · 2026-11-06

Opening post of drcintas's thread on NetEase Youdao's Confucius4-R2T2: most streaming ASR models keep rewriting their output — subtitles flicker and voice agents reprocess the same sentence three times — a quality-of-life issue that becomes a systems problem. R2T2 claims to solve this by never rewriting once text is emitted; the author reads the paper and breaks down what actually works and what could be better (expanded in subsequent posts covering the LSP target, 160ms-chunk results, and improvement ideas).
