Parakeet Batch Transcriber

Parakeet Batch Transcriber is a Windows PC program that gives you unlimited speech-to-text without needing any external internet services. Easy to use, even for laypersons.

You can transcribe entire folders of audio and video files automatically and get these files for each of them:

- Timestamped transcript (.txt)
- Clean readable text, no timestamps (.txt)
- SRT and VTT subtitles — drop straight into a video editor or media player
- Full JSON with per-word timestamps for devs and pipelines

Powered by NVIDIA's Parakeet V3 AI model (INT8, ~650 MB), running through ONNX so it works on NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, or CPU. Drop a folder of recordings, pick your options, and walk away. Output lands in your chosen folder, ready to use. Transcription accuracy is rated at 93% for english language.

**Other features:**
- Speaker identification — labels who's talking (SPEAKER_00, SPEAKER_01, etc.)
- Vocal enhancement — optional HPSS pre-processing to help recover lyrics buried in music
- 25 languages + auto-detect
- Skips already-transcribed files automatically
- Fully portable — copy the folder to a USB drive, works offline on any Windows PC

Works on Windows 10/11. GPU gives 10–20× faster transcription; CPU works too, just slower. One-time model download (~715 MB), then it never needs internet again.

Unlimited. No subscription needed. No data leaves your machine.
