Nick,
actually what I said was the models won't be ship, but the user will
choose or not to download the models to enable speech api in his
language in a separate panel inside the app.
Hey! Sorry to mis-represent you, it was not my intent.
I meant that we shouldn't ship the models; I definitely think we should
ship the API (when it's ready). For Fennec, that will mean putting some
effort into distributing the downloadable assets.
If I'm still getting it wrong, please follow up.

Andre's initial estimate is that the Web Speech API adds perhaps
9-10 megs to our APK. I don't think we can ship this; I think we
need to invest in distributing these additional pieces separate of
the main APK. We're getting quite a list of additional content that
we want to distribute after install; see also [1]. (And I'm sure
there are others.)

Thanks Nick, I appreciate your help.
I created two versions of Fennec apk: one [1] with the english models
bundled (43.7 mb), and other [2] without it (34.6mb). This was the
mozconfig I used [3]
Actually, I had a conversation with Jonas Sicking some months ago and we
agreed that the ideal scenario about this is to allow the user to
download the package for the language he prefer from some sort of
preferences screen, instead ship them bundled into the apk.

First, Andre, let me offer my congratulations on getting this
project to this point. We've talked a few times and I've always
been impressed.
Can you point me at Fennec try builds? I vaguely recall that these
speech recognition approaches require large pattern matching files,
and I'd like to see what including the Speech API does to the
Fennec
APK size. We're pushing pretty hard on reducing our APK size right
now because we believe it's a big barrier to entry and
especially to
upgrading older devices.
