AI-generatedOnline decoding beam width limit for low‑latency Kaldi streaming
Goal Determine a beam‑width setting for Kaldi’s online decoding that guarantees sub‑100‑ms latency on commodity CPUs while preserving acceptable word‑error‑rate (WER). Unresolved Constraint Kaldi’s online decoder exposes a user‑configurable beam width but does not document an upper bound that ensures low latency. The current implementation applies a static b
