Simply upload your audio file through the interface to convert it to accurately transcribed text. The system will process your audio and generate a transcript with remarkable speed. You can adjust parameters like timestamp precision, punctuation preferences, and output format (in advanced integrations). The ultra-fast processing allows you to receive results almost instantly.
Parakeet TDT 0.6B processes audio at unprecedented speeds - approximately 60 minutes of audio in just 1 second on appropriate hardware. Even lengthy recordings are transcribed almost instantly. Once transcription is complete, you can view, download, or share your high-quality text output with precise timestamps.
We take your privacy seriously. For the embedded Hugging Face demo, please refer to their privacy policy. When using the model via NVIDIA NeMo or other self-hosted solutions, data handling is under your control. For any service offered directly on this site (if applicable in the future), all audio inputs would be encrypted during transmission and processing. We would not store your audio files or generated transcripts beyond the current session unless you explicitly save them. Our systems would comply with industry-standard security protocols to ensure your data remains protected.
Parakeet TDT supports common audio formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, and OGG. The system can handle various audio qualities, though clearer recordings with minimal background noise will yield the most accurate results. The model is trained to handle natural speech patterns across different speakers.
Yes, Parakeet TDT models are typically released under permissive licenses like CC-BY-4.0, which allows for commercial use of the model's output. You retain full ownership of the generated content and can use it in products, services, documentation, or any other commercial applications without additional licensing fees from the model itself.
Parakeet TDT 0.6B achieves excellent accuracy on standard benchmarks (e.g., a Word Error Rate of ~6.05% on the Hugging Face Open ASR Leaderboard). Performance may vary slightly based on audio quality, speaker clarity, and background noise. The model excels at recognizing natural conversational speech and automatically adds appropriate punctuation and capitalization.
The Parakeet-TDT-0.6B-v2 model features 600 million parameters. It combines a FastConformer encoder with a Token-and-Duration Transducer (TDT) decoder. This architecture is optimized for NVIDIA GPUs (like A100, H100, T4, V100) and can transcribe an hour of audio in approximately one second, achieving a Real-Time Factor (RTFx) of around 3386 with a batch size of 128.
It's trained on diverse, large-scale datasets such as the Granary dataset (approx. 120,000 hours of English audio), ensuring robustness across various accents and noise conditions. The model supports punctuation, capitalization, and detailed word-level timestamping.
While optimized for GPUs, it can be loaded on systems with as little as 2GB of RAM for broader deployment, though performance will vary.
