android support

Just wanted to ask if there were any estimates on the android support? The tooling is amazing for apple and would really like to be able to do the same for android with the fall back to external LLMs.

Unfortunately we are limited due to incomplete/missing presence of on-device Android APIs. Is there any particular device/hardware that you would like us to experiment with?

I actually think if you were able to get the MLC working fully with tools and such, the react-native-speech-recognition library is really good for iOS and android so taht could be used.

For speech, ultimately using something like Kokoro would be really useful. I did get this working with onnx on react native but the phonemics isn't optimal.
