VoiceBar Parakeet V3 Compatibility Package

This repository publishes the VoiceBar-compatible ONNX/int8 package for local speech recognition in VoiceBar. It is intended for VoiceBar's bundled Rust bridge on macOS, not as a replacement for NVIDIA's original model release.

Contents

• parakeet-v3-int8.tar.gz - VoiceBar runtime package
• parakeet-v3-int8.tar.gz.sha256 - SHA-256 checksum

Installation

VoiceBar downloads this package only after the person using the app selects Install Parakeet. The archive is checked against the published SHA-256 before it is installed. Audio remains on the Mac while Parakeet transcribes it.

Upstream and license

The canonical upstream model is nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3. This compatibility package is distributed under the upstream CC-BY-4.0 license. NVIDIA's model card, attribution, and license terms remain authoritative.

Compatibility contract

This package is tied to the VoiceBar Parakeet bridge's ONNX/int8 runtime contract. It is not a general-purpose model download and should not be assumed compatible with other ASR applications.
