This might be the first instance of _fast_ & accurate transcription running locally in the browser. So long as your device has a GPU and can run a WebGPU-capable browser, parakeet.wgsl will run on it.
And as WebGPU transpiles to practically any GPU, this also opens up the path to getting parakeet.wgsl running offline / outside of the browser, via Dawn or wgpu, so that fast, accurate transcription can be brought to offline programs, with GPU acceleration and support for nearly all hardware/devices.
Interested in what you guys think about about this project.
And lastly, I'm looking for job. If you like my work and think I'd be a good fit for your team, I'd love to chat. I've done some other work too that you can find at https://hamzaq.com
Cheers, everyone. Enjoy fast, cross-platform GPU-accelerated local transcription!
High-performance inference of NVIDIA's Parakeet TDT 0.6B V2 English transcription model, in the browser.
A fully custom, dependancy-free implementation with raw WebGPU compute shaders and SIMD WebAssembly audio frontend.
1 hour of audio transcribed in 20 seconds (Apple M5, Google Chrome 151.0.7922.72).
