Hey everyone! Just pushed v1.3.2, which includes two major new features:

Parakeet V3 — New Default Speech Engine

We've integrated NVIDIA's Parakeet TDT 0.6B as the new built-in default model. It's noticeably faster(5x) and more accurate for English transcription compared to Whisper Small. The Whisper models (Small & Large V3 Turbo) are still available as downloadable options if you need multi-language support.

Model picker: Parakeet V3 (default), Whisper Small, and Whisper Large V3 Turbo — all running locally

On-Device Translation (macOS 15+)

You can now translate your transcriptions directly on your Mac using Apple's Translation framework — completely offline, no API keys, no data leaving your device. Just click the translate button on any transcription and pick your target language.

On-device transcription + offline translation (English → Japanese via Apple Intelligence)
