+# CUDA Configuration Guide
+
+This guide explains how to configure the Speech Transcription App to use GPU acceleration with CUDA.
+
+## Overview
+
+The app supports both CPU and GPU processing for all AI models:
+- **Whisper** (speech-to-text)
+- **RoBERTa** (question classification) 
+- **Sentence Boundary Detection**
+
+GPU acceleration can provide **2-10x faster processing** for real-time transcription.
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+### 1. Check CUDA Availability
+```bash
+python test_cuda.py
+```
+
+### 2. Configure Device
+Create a `.env` file:
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Edit `.env`:
+```bash
+# For GPU acceleration
+USE_CUDA=true
+
+# For CPU processing (default)
+USE_CUDA=false
+```
+
+### 3. Run the App
+```bash
+python app.py
+```
+
+## Detailed Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Values | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| `USE_CUDA` | `true`/`false` | Enable/disable GPU acceleration |
+
+### Device Selection Logic
+
+```
+1. If USE_CUDA=true AND CUDA available → Use GPU
+2. If USE_CUDA=true AND CUDA not available → Fallback to CPU (with warning)
+3. If USE_CUDA=false → Use CPU
+4. If no .env file → Default to CPU
+```
+
+### Model Configurations
+
+| Device | Whisper | RoBERTa | Compute Type |
+|--------|---------|---------|--------------|
+| **CPU** | `device="cpu"` | `device=-1` | `int8` |
+| **GPU** | `device="cuda"` | `device=0` | `float16` |
+
+## CUDA Requirements
+
+### System Requirements
+- NVIDIA GPU with CUDA Compute Capability 3.5+
+- CUDA Toolkit 11.8+ or 12.x
+- cuDNN 8.x
+- 4GB+ GPU memory recommended
+
+### Python Dependencies
+```bash
+# Install PyTorch with CUDA support first
+pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
+
+# Then install other requirements
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Performance Comparison
+
+### Typical Speedups with GPU
+
+| Model | CPU Time | GPU Time | Speedup |
+|-------|----------|----------|---------|
+| Whisper (base) | ~2-5s | ~0.5-1s | 3-5x |
+| RoBERTa | ~100ms | ~20ms | 5x |
+| Overall | Real-time lag | Near instant | 3-8x |
+
+### Memory Usage
+
+| Configuration | RAM | GPU Memory |
+|---------------|-----|------------|
+| CPU Only | 2-4GB | 0GB |
+| GPU Accelerated | 1-2GB | 2-6GB |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 1. "CUDA requested but not available"
+```
+⚠️ Warning: CUDA requested but not available, falling back to CPU
+```
+**Solution:** Install CUDA toolkit and PyTorch with CUDA support
+
+#### 2. "Out of memory" errors
+**Solutions:**
+- Reduce model size (e.g., `tiny.en` → `base.en`)
+- Set `USE_CUDA=false` to use CPU
+- Close other GPU applications
+
+#### 3. Models not loading on GPU
+**Check:**
+```python
+import torch
+print(f"CUDA available: {torch.cuda.is_available()}")
+print(f"CUDA version: {torch.version.cuda}")
+```
+
+### Testing Your Setup
+
+Run the comprehensive test:
+```bash
+python test_cuda.py
+```
+
+This will test:
+- ✅ PyTorch CUDA detection
+- ✅ Transformers device support  
+- ✅ Whisper model loading
+- ✅ GPU memory availability
+- ✅ Performance benchmark
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+For detailed device information, check the app startup:
+```
+🔧 Configuration:
+   Device: CUDA
+   Compute type: float16
+   CUDA available: True
+   GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
+   GPU Memory: 10.0 GB
+```
+
+## Installation Examples
+
+### Ubuntu/Linux with CUDA
+```bash
+# Install CUDA toolkit
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
+
+# Install PyTorch with CUDA
+pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
+
+# Install app dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Configure for GPU
+echo "USE_CUDA=true" > .env
+
+# Test setup
+python test_cuda.py
+
+# Run app
+python app.py
+```
+
+### Windows with CUDA
+```bash
+# Install CUDA toolkit from NVIDIA website
+# https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
+
+# Install PyTorch with CUDA
+pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
+
+# Install app dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Configure for GPU
+echo USE_CUDA=true > .env
+
+# Test setup
+python test_cuda.py
+
+# Run app
+python app.py
+```
+
+### CPU-Only Installation
+```bash
+# Install PyTorch CPU version
+pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
+
+# Install app dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Configure for CPU
+echo "USE_CUDA=false" > .env
+
+# Run app
+python app.py
+```
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Custom Device Settings
+
+You can override device settings in code:
+```python
+# Force specific device
+from components.transcriber import AudioProcessor
+processor = AudioProcessor(model_size="base.en", device="cuda", compute_type="float16")
+```
+
+### Mixed Precision
+
+GPU configurations automatically use optimal precision:
+- **CPU:** `int8` quantization for speed
+- **GPU:** `float16` for memory efficiency
+
+### Multiple GPUs
+
+For systems with multiple GPUs:
+```python
+# Use specific GPU
+import os
+os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"] = "1"  # Use second GPU
+```
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### For Maximum Speed (GPU)
+```bash
+USE_CUDA=true
+```
+- Use `base.en` or `small.en` Whisper model
+- Ensure 4GB+ GPU memory available
+- Close other GPU applications
+
+### For Maximum Compatibility (CPU)
+```bash
+USE_CUDA=false
+```
+- Use `tiny.en` Whisper model
+- Works on any system
+- Lower memory requirements
+
+### Balanced Performance
+```bash
+USE_CUDA=true  # with fallback to CPU
+```
+- Use `base.en` Whisper model
+- Automatic device detection
+- Best of both worlds
+
+## Support
+
+### Getting Help
+
+1. Run diagnostic test: `python test_cuda.py`
+2. Check device info in app startup logs
+3. Verify .env configuration
+4. Test with minimal example
+
+### Reporting Issues
+
+Include this information:
+- Output of `python test_cuda.py`
+- Your `.env` file contents
+- GPU model and memory
+- Error messages from app startup
+
+---
+
+**Note:** CPU processing works perfectly for most use cases. GPU acceleration is optional for enhanced performance.
