parakeet-stt
Local speech-to-text with NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 (ONNX on CPU). 30x faster than Whisper, 25 languages, auto-detection, OpenAI-compatible API. Use when transcribing audio files, converting speech to text, or processing voice recordings locally without cloud APIs.
What this skill does
# Parakeet TDT (Speech-to-Text)
Local transcription using NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 with ONNX Runtime.
Runs on CPU — no GPU required. ~30x faster than realtime.
## Installation
```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/groxaxo/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3-fastapi-openai.git
cd parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3-fastapi-openai
# Run with Docker (recommended)
docker compose up -d parakeet-cpu
# Or run directly with Python
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5000
```
Default port is `5000`. Set `PARAKEET_URL` to override (e.g., `http://localhost:5092`).
## API Endpoint
OpenAI-compatible API at `$PARAKEET_URL` (default: `http://localhost:5000`).
## Quick Start
```bash
# Transcribe audio file (plain text)
curl -X POST $PARAKEET_URL/v1/audio/transcriptions \
-F "file=@/path/to/audio.mp3" \
-F "response_format=text"
# Get timestamps and segments
curl -X POST $PARAKEET_URL/v1/audio/transcriptions \
-F "file=@/path/to/audio.mp3" \
-F "response_format=verbose_json"
# Generate subtitles (SRT)
curl -X POST $PARAKEET_URL/v1/audio/transcriptions \
-F "file=@/path/to/audio.mp3" \
-F "response_format=srt"
```
## Python / OpenAI SDK
```python
import os
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url=os.getenv("PARAKEET_URL", "http://localhost:5000") + "/v1",
api_key="not-needed"
)
with open("audio.mp3", "rb") as f:
transcript = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
model="parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3",
file=f,
response_format="text"
)
print(transcript)
```
## Response Formats
| Format | Output |
|--------|--------|
| `text` | Plain text |
| `json` | `{"text": "..."}` |
| `verbose_json` | Segments with timestamps and words |
| `srt` | SRT subtitles |
| `vtt` | WebVTT subtitles |
## Supported Languages (25)
English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian,
Ukrainian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Greek, Czech,
Romanian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Slovak, Croatian, Lithuanian, Latvian,
Estonian, Slovenian
Language is auto-detected — no configuration needed.
## Web Interface
Open `$PARAKEET_URL` in a browser for drag-and-drop transcription UI.
## Docker Management
```bash
# Check status
docker ps --filter "name=parakeet"
# View logs
docker logs -f <container-name>
# Restart
docker compose restart
# Stop
docker compose down
```
## Why Parakeet over Whisper?
- **Speed**: ~30x faster than realtime on CPU
- **Accuracy**: Comparable to Whisper large-v3
- **Privacy**: Runs 100% locally, no cloud calls
- **Compatibility**: Drop-in replacement for OpenAI's transcription API

watch
IncludedWatch a video (URL or local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or Whisper API fallback), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.
physical-ai-defect-image-generation
IncludedUse when the user wants to orchestrate defect image generation, run associated setup, or handle outputs on OSMO. The Day 0 path handles cold-start with USD-to-ROI, image-edit augmentation, and AnomalyGen to create initial PCBA datasets. The Day 1 path performs inference and labeling on real images. This skill helps with first-time asset setup, creation of finetuning checkpoints, and configuring deployment.

accelint-react-best-practices
IncludedReact performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.
elevenlabs-agents
IncludedBuild conversational AI voice agents with ElevenLabs Platform using React, JavaScript, React Native, or Swift SDKs. Configure agents, tools (client/server/MCP), RAG knowledge bases, multi-voice, and Scribe real-time STT. Use when: building voice chat interfaces, implementing AI phone agents with Twilio, configuring agent workflows or tools, adding RAG knowledge bases, testing with CLI "agents as code", or troubleshooting deprecated @11labs packages, Android audio cutoff, CSP violations, dynamic variables, or WebRTC config.

humanizer
IncludedHumanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.
generating-mermaid-diagrams
IncludedSalesforce architecture diagrams using Mermaid with ASCII fallback. Use this skill when generating text-based diagrams for Salesforce architecture, OAuth flows, ERDs, integration sequences, or Agentforce structure. TRIGGER when: user says "diagram", "visualize", "ERD", or asks for sequence diagrams, flowcharts, class diagrams, or architecture visualizations in Mermaid. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants PNG/SVG image output (use generating-visual-diagrams), or asks about non-Salesforce systems.
