+<!-- catalog:intro -->
+Upstream: [`oruk/orukeet`](https://huggingface.co/oruk/orukeet) at [`b59c13a`](https://huggingface.co/oruk/orukeet/commit/b59c13a).
+
+A tuned version of parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3 from Oruk AI. Turns speech into
+text in 25 European languages, works offline, and runs as fast as v3. Give
+it a 16 kHz mono WAV and it gives you back text with punctuation and
+capitals. Swap it in anywhere you use v3. Does not stream and does not
+translate.
+<!-- /catalog -->
+
+## What it does
+
+Speech to text in 25 European languages, offline. It is
+`parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3` with new weights from Oruk AI: same size, same speed,
+same 25 languages, slightly more accurate. If you already run v3, point at
+this file instead and you are done.
+
+It does not stream and it does not translate.

+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+cmake -B build
+cmake --build build
+
+build/bin/transcribe-cli \
+  -m models/orukeet/orukeet-Q8_0.gguf \
+  samples/jfk.wav
+```
+
+Audio has to be 16 kHz mono WAV. Convert anything else first:
+
+```bash
+ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ar 16000 -ac 1 output.wav
+```
+
+It figures out the language on its own. Add `--language de` (or any of the
+25 codes) if you want to force one.

+Compared tensor by tensor against NeMo running Oruk's own `.nemo` file,
+using the same tolerances as v3. Everything matches and the test transcript
+is identical. Batches of 2, 4 and 8 give the same text as one at a time.

+Oruk also ships a `transcribe-cpp/orukeet-Q8_0.gguf` in their own repo.
+It was made with this same converter and works too; ours is just rebuilt
+from the F32 so all the sizes come from one place.

+- No streaming.
+- No translation.
+- Timestamps are per token, not per word.
+- Licence is CC-BY-SA-4.0. The rest of the parakeet family is CC-BY-4.0.
+  If you make a derivative of the weights, it has to carry the same licence.
+- Long files go through in one pass. Nothing cuts them up for you.

Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path, and that will make all the difference.",
+    "samples/love-loss.wav": "My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I found what I love to do early in life. Waz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was twenty. We worked hard, and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar company with over 4,000 employees. We just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me. And for the first year or so, things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him. And so at 30, I was out and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me. I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I'd been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next five years, I started a company named Next, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought next, and I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at Next is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Lorene and I have a wonderful family together. I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometime life sometimes life's gonna hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.",
+    "samples/whole-earth.wav": "When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the Bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand, not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 60s, before personal computers and desktop publishing. So it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form 35 years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues of the Whole Earth catalogue. And then, when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words, stay hungry, stay foolish. It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay hungry, stay foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay hungry, stay foolish. Thank you all very much."
