## Decision facts: botium-speech-processing

- **Adopt for:** Botium Speech Processing uses Docker for managing speech-to-text and text-to-speech services with full and slim configurations

## Decision facts: SenseVoice

- **Adopt for:** SenseVoice is ideal for applications needing fast multilingual ASR with emotion recognition and audio event detection in over 50 languages.

## Choose when

### Choose botium-speech-processing if…

- botium-speech-processing is primarily JavaScript; SenseVoice is C.
- License: botium-speech-processing is MIT, SenseVoice is Other.
- Tags unique to botium-speech-processing: botium, cloud-deployment, docker, docker-compose.
- Need comprehensive speech-processing capabilities using prebuilt Docker images

### Choose SenseVoice if…

- SenseVoice is primarily C; botium-speech-processing is JavaScript.
- License: SenseVoice is Other, botium-speech-processing is MIT.
- Tags unique to SenseVoice: asr, audio-analysis, audio-event-detection, cantonese.
- Projects requiring speed, with non-autoregressive models being up to 15 times faster than Whisper

## When NOT to use botium-speech-processing

- Limited hardware, needing a setup with less than the required 8GB RAM and 40GB HD space
- Not looking to use Docker or docker-compose for deployment purposes
- Wanting flexibility outside of the provided configuration without additional build effort

## When NOT to use SenseVoice

- Applications needing Python-based implementation since SenseVoice relies on C and PyTorch for its framework
- Scenarios demanding the lowest level of inference latency as it may have higher overhead compared to simpler models
