English-first local speech-to-text
Speech to text.
Why this model
One language. One fast path.
HyperYap defaults to NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v2 through the smcleod ONNX INT8 conversion. That combination is the practical target for this product: English speech recognition, a local desktop runtime, and an install that does not need a hosted transcription service.
Multilingual models are valuable when multilingual transcription is the product. HyperYap is not trying to be that. It is tuned around English dictation into editors, terminals, chat apps, and browser fields.
MURmure lineage
A narrower fork, not a louder one.
HyperYap comes from MURmure, and the original project deserves credit. The difference is focus. MURmure carries a broader voice assistant and multilingual direction. HyperYap cuts toward local English speech-to-text with fewer moving parts.
That is the product boundary: model choice, desktop latency, privacy, and the record-to-paste loop matter more than adding every possible mode.
