State-of-the-art accuracy and speed for English transcriptions.
Parakeet-CTC-XL-0.6B (around 600M parameters) is trained on ASRSet with over 35000 hours of English (en-US) speech. The model transcribes speech in lower case English alphabet along with spaces and apostrophes.
Parakeet transcribes audio into text, using spaces and apostrophes where needed
