I had to turn off ad-block to get it to work.
I can see the waveform but it still doesn't work for me. Switched to Edge, disabled all adblocking and privacy extensions, built-in tracking prevention, and "enhanced site security" (whatever that is), and still no dice. I'd love to try it and be impressed, but it seems impossible. :(
This demo is really impressive: https://huggingface.co/spaces/mistralai/Voxtral-Mini-Realtim... Don't be confused if it says "no microphone", the moment you click the record button it will request browser permission and then start working. I spoke fast and dropped in some jargon and it got it all right - I said this and it transcribed it exactly right, WebAssembly spelling included: > Can you tell me about RSS and At…
Doesn't seem to work for me - tried in both Firefox and Chromium and I can see the waveform when I talk but the transcription just shows "Awaiting audio input".
Do we know if this is better than Nvidia Parakeet V3? That has been my go-to model locally and it's hard to imagine there's something even better.
I've been using nemotron ASR with my own ported inference, and happy about it: https://huggingface.co/nvidia/nemotron-speech-streaming-en-0... https://github.com/m1el/nemotron-asr.cpp https://huggingface.co/m1el/nemotron-speech-streaming-0.6B-g...
In English it is pretty good. But talk to it in Polish, and suddenly it thinks you speak Russian? Ukranian? Belarus? I would understand if an American company launched this, but for a company being so proud about their European roots, I think it should have better support for major European languages.

They don't claim to support Polish, but they do support Russian. > The model is natively multilingual, achieving strong transcription performance in 13 languages, including English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian, and Dutch. With a 4B parameter footprint, it runs efficiently on edge devices, ensuring privacy and security for sensitive deployments. I won…
The other demos didn't work for me, so I made https://github.com/owenbrown/transcribe It's just a python script to test the streaming. Wow, Voxtral is amazing. It will be great when someone stitches this up so an LLM starts thinking, researching for you, before you actually finish talking. Like, create a conversation partner with sub 0.5 second latency. For example, you ask it a multi part questions and, as soon as y…

Having built with and tried every voice model over the last three years, real time and non-real time... this is off the charts compared to anything I've seen before. And open weight too! So grateful for this.

Add poor microphone quality (using a laptop to broadcast a presentation to a room audience isn't very good) and you get a perfect storm of untranscribeable presentations or meetings.
All I want from e.g. Teams is a good transcript and, more importantly, a clever summary. Because when you think about it, imagine all the words spoken in a meeting and write them down - that's pages and pages of content that nobody would want to read in full.
