- What it is
- The official history page of the Kaldi project. It says the toolkit grew out of a 2009 Johns Hopkins University workshop, was first released in May 2011, and has been developed mainly by Daniel Povey.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by the project itself, so it is authoritative on its own origins and dates. It is a project account, not an independent history, and it gives no accuracy figures.
Facts taken from this source
- The Kaldi project says its code was released on 14 May 2011 and presented publicly at ICASSP 2011 in Prague.
