Qwen-asr can easily transcribe live radio (see README) in any random laptop. It looks like we are going to see really cool things on local inference, now that automatic programming makes a lot simpler to create solid pipelines for new models in C, C++, Rust, ..., in a matter of hours.
What it does: - Runs 7 model families: offline transcription (CTC, RNNT, TDT, TDT-CTC), streaming (EOU, Nemotron), and speaker diarization (Sortformer) - Word-level timestamps - Streaming transcription from microphone input - Speaker diarization detecting up to 4 speakers
Hoe does this compare?
