Model Selection

Echophrase ships with a small registry of pre-vetted models. The values below mirror the desktop app’s model registry — they are the exact models you can pick from in Settings.

Recommendations

  • CPU only: Parakeet Lite
  • Modern GPU (DirectX 12): Parakeet-TDT 0.6B for best quality, or Lite if you want lower memory use
