2-3 years old Android flagship phone with 8 GB RAM. When I looked for an app for parakeet, I think I also came across iOS apps. Don't recall it since I use Android. Seems light on the phone/battery. Don't observe any drain but I also only record shorter transcripts at once. Side note: Parakeet is actually pretty nice to do meetings with oneself. Did that on a computer while driving for an hour (split in several transcript chunks). Processed the raw meeting notes afterwards with an LLM. Effective use of the time in the car...

Thank you for sharing ! What about the quality of the transcripts? Is it able to do live streaming?

Unfortunately, Parakeet doesn't support streaming like Moonshot does (as much as I know). Would be perfect to have sth of the size of Parakeet but supporting streaming. Still hope Nvidia releases a V4 with that feature :) Otherwise, I think STT is basically a solved problem running locally on edge devices.

I think there is a streaming version of Parakeet. It is often referred to as Nemotron, though.

I tried comparing Parakeet streaming with Moonshine streaming. Moonshine is smaller, and I felt it was subjectively faster with about the same level of accuracy.
