Cactus Compute’s Whistle speech recognition model now supports local fine-tuning: developers can adapt it to particular speakers or vocabulary, or teach it a new language. The tuned model can be exported as a .cact file. [1] Whistle runs on-device on a CPU and can transcribe speech in seven languages, add word timestamps, and generate speech embeddings. These features may be useful for apps and devices that need speech processing locally, including phones, wearables, and smart-home devices. [1]
SupraTTS-1.0-Preview is an open-weight text-to-speech model that turns English text into audio and is designed to run locally with a Python runtime. It can synthesize speech on a CPU without requiring a network connection at runtime. [2] That may suit developers building tools that need offline English speech generation; the record describes it as a preview release. [2]
