# Model Card for Model ID
<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->
> **( update august 2025 - CC-BY models are coming soon. )**
## Overview
This is a family of low-latency streaming models designed for use on edge devices.
**Goal**: Provide faster or higher-quality performance compared to similarly sized Whisper and other models.
- **Languages**: English, French, German (7 more languages coming).
## Demos
- [**Browser Demo (CPU)**](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Banafo/Kroko-Streaming-ASR-Wasm)
*(Runs entirely in the browser using CPU.)*
- [**Gradio / Python Demo**](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Banafo/Kroko-Streaming-ASR-Python)
## License
The license is still under consideration (likely Coqui). The model is intended to be **dual-licensed**:
- **Free for non-commercial use**.
- **Affordable license for commercial use**.
## Training
- Training is done with a modified k2/Icefall pipeline.
- Inference can be performed with the standard Sherpa project.
- Silence padding and volume normalization may help produce better results.
