theoracleguy/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3

MLX-compatible version of `nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3`, prepared for use with OpenVox and other Apple Silicon speech-to-text workflows.

Parakeet TDT 0.6B V3 is NVIDIA's multilingual automatic speech recognition model based on a FastConformer encoder and Token-and-Duration Transducer (TDT) decoder.

It supports transcription across multiple European languages and is designed for fast, accurate speech recognition.
