Parakeet Local ASR
Run local Parakeet ASR in a deterministic way.
Standard workflow
- Install/update runtime:
bash scripts/bootstrap.sh - Start service:
bash scripts/start.sh - Validate service health:
bash scripts/healthcheck.sh - (Optional) Run a smoke transcription test with a local audio file:
bash scripts/smoke-test.sh /path/to/audio.mp3
Repo location
Default install/update path used by scripts:
~/parakeet-asr
Override with env var before running scripts:
PARAKEET_DIR=/custom/path bash scripts/bootstrap.sh
OpenClaw integration notes
After healthcheck passes, use:
- URL:
http://localhost:9001 - Endpoint:
/v1/audio/transcriptions
If a user requests reliability over purity, keep Whisper as fallback provider.
Safety rules
- Ask before elevated/package-manager operations.
- Do not kill unrelated processes.
- Keep changes scoped to ASR setup unless explicitly asked.
