Parakeet is significantly more accurate and faster than Whisper if it supports your language.

Are you running Parakeet with VoiceInk[0]?

i am, working great for a long time now

Right, and if you're on MacOS you can use it for free with Hex: https://github.com/kitlangton/Hex

Or write your own custom one with the library that backs it: https://github.com/FluidInference/FluidAudio

I did that so that I could record my own inputs and finetune parakeet to make it accurate enough to skip post-processing.

There's a fork of FluidAudio that supports the recent Cohere model: https://github.com/altic-dev/FluidAudio/tree/B/cohere-coreml...

It's used by this dictation app: https://github.com/altic-dev/FluidVoice/

Parakeet supports japanese now, but I cant find a version ported to apple silicone yet.

I have been using Parakeet with MacWhisper's hold-to-talk on a MacBook Neo and it's been awesome.

And indeed, Ghost Pepper supports parakeet v3
