# whisper-tiny (Vokra GGUF)

Speech recognition model, converted to the Vokra GGUF format for [Vokra](https://github.com/ayutaz/vokra), a zero-dependency speech-AI inference runtime.

**This is a conversion, not a new model.** The weights are the upstream ones; Vokra re-packages them so its runtime can memory-map them directly. Credit for the model belongs upstream — see *Source* below.

## Files

| File | Size | SHA-256 |
|---|---|---|
| `model.gguf` | 144.5 MB | `e1cc5a63f55e06d1ccc45f44085bb85bcc75a1ff81853029352401b6221717fd` |

## Usage

```bash
# Download (any HTTP client works — the file is a plain GGUF)
curl -L -o model.gguf \
  https://huggingface.co/vokra/whisper-tiny/resolve/main/model.gguf
```

```bash
vokra-cli run --model model.gguf --input speech.wav

# Beam search instead of greedy
vokra-cli run --model model.gguf --input speech.wav --beam-size 5
```

Prints the transcript. Input must be mono 16 kHz WAV.

Every row above is read out of this file's own `vokra.*` metadata, so the card cannot claim something the artifact does not carry.

## Licence

The weights are distributed under **MIT**, unchanged from upstream. Conversion does not alter the licence, and your obligations run to the upstream author.
