Parakeet

Parakeet TDT V3 via onnx-asr.

Setup

Run hyprwhspr setup and select Parakeet → Parakeet v3. The model (~1 GB) is downloaded during setup.

Configuration

{
    "transcription_backend": "onnx-asr",
    "onnx_asr_model": "nemo-parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3",  // default
    "onnx_asr_quantization": "int8",                  // int8 (default) | null (FP32)
    "onnx_asr_use_vad": true,                         // Silero VAD for longer recordings (default: true)
    "onnx_asr_vad_min_duration": 30                   // seconds before VAD is used (default: 30)
}

Orukeet: an optional Parakeet v3 fine-tune for 25 European languages. Pick Parakeet → Orukeet in setup, or:

hyprwhspr setup auto --backend onnx-asr --model orukeet

Or set "onnx_asr_model": "orukeet". Always int8; your onnx_asr_quantization stays put for Parakeet.
