Unfortunately you are wrong. Time marches on and progress in silicon does too. You may not like the timeline, but it will happen. While not exactly an “SSD”, High Bandwidth Flash w…

all day yesterday, Taiwan time Sol was having significant issues. “Overloaded”, maybe half of requests or more wouldn’t go through

It's not that much extra work to compile, the extra work comes from the maintenance and feature requests. By not shipping the binary directly I am defending my time until other con…

we have wtype and ydotool support as well in Handy, but it's not exactly a great out of the box experience always, but some of it is on me for poor linux packaging

Right now I intend to maintain this as a library. The examples are just that, examples for programmers/agents. If someone in the community wants to step up to maintaining release b…

Wow, it's amazing to hear that even though I released this so recently people are already using it properly! Thanks! Please let me know any issues you run into

yes

word boosting will probably come on a much longer time horizon, but streaming is here! I'm really hoping someone either contributes a good server example to the codebase (and is wi…

I’m on a train right now but off the top of my head the audio pipeline may have to be modified slightly to emit partial text segments as they come in from the transcription engine.…

Eventually I would like to be more fully drop in compatible, right now some feature support is a bit sparse. And whisper has so much work done to it over the years so it’s hard to …

For sure, it was not initially a target because I didn’t need it for Handy but I do understand the importance in the broader context

Testers by far as the most needed thing, I do maintain a list of per platform people who help to test so if you drop a GitHub username (or email me) I will add you to the list and …

Every model with open weights has some code which can be used to inference it. So we download the published weights and run against inference library they suggest, be it transforme…

Largely this is out of scope for the library, mainly because I’m not aware of many models supporting this. but if there are models which support this would be happy to support

Yep, could do simple things like literal regex or all the way up to LLM cleanup, tons of options

Yeah I’m working on it, Linux is a big pain point especially Wayland Once things are more or less ironed out on MacOS and Windows a lot of attention will be turned towards Linux I …

TensorRT and CUDA is effectively the same speed as CPU for the speech to text models I was testing via ONNX at a huge binary bloat penalty. WGPU is hard to ship and also equivalent…

Not in the library itself, it’s pure inference. Some models have this trained out of them anyhow. Otherwise this is a post processing task which is not really inference

Out of the box no probably not, but if people are interested there’s probably ways forward

You can fairly easily modify [Handy]( https://handy.computer ) to do this if you want I’m planning on having it as a first class feature of the app too just too many other issues t…

Parakeet unified for me no longer does this and it’s also a streaming transcription model! But the answer largely depends on you, the languages you speak, and personal preference. …

Contributions are always welcome! There’s a WIP diarization PR rn, and after it’s merged would love to have support if it fits well into the interface. And if not would love to fig…

Ha amazing, love to hear it

Yep, but I am in the process of also porting NVIDIAs Sortformer for multi speaker diarization as well :) I’m not sure how many specific models will be supported as the library is m…

Thanks! What an excellent question, I’m not sure I have a good answer. I kind of became an open source maintainer by accident as Handy became popular Certainly I am very lucky that…
