Hinglish Conformer-CTC GGUF

This repository contains a highly optimized GGUF (float32) conversion of the parthiv11/stt_hi_conformer_ctc_large_v2 model, a Conformer-CTC Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model specifically trained for Hindi and Hinglish (code-switched Hindi-English) speech.

The model is designed for high-performance, local deployment with zero Python dependencies using the lightweight C++ parakeet-cpp engine (GGML backend).

> [!IMPORTANT]

> The GGUF file is fully standalone. Configuration parameters and the 128-token sentencepiece vocabulary are embedded directly inside the binary.

Model Details

• Architecture: Conformer-CTC (Large)
• Parameter Count: ~120M
• Vocabulary Size: 128 tokens
• Training Data: ~2,900 hours of combined Hindi and Hinglish speech from the ULCA and Europal corpora.
• Input Format: 16,000 Hz mono-channel WAV audio.

Evaluation & Analytics

1. Accuracy Benchmarks (WER & CER)

These metrics are calculated using Greedy Decoding (without KenLM rescoring).

| Dataset | Word Error Rate (WER) | Character Error Rate (CER) |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| MUCS 2021 Blind Test | 9.37% | 2.74% |

| IITM 2020 Eval Set | 12.93% | 5.60% |

| Common Voice 6 Test | 13.16% | 4.50% |

| Common Voice 7 Test | 13.50% | 5.20% |

| Common Voice 8 Test | 14.37% | 5.95% |

2. Local Performance & Speed Benchmarks

Tested on a local edge device (NVIDIA RTX GPU & AMD/Intel CPU).

• Test Audio Duration: 7.26 seconds (mono, 16000Hz).
• Metric: Real-Time Factor (RTF). Lower is faster.

| Configuration | Average Inference Time | Real-Time Factor (RTF) | CPU / RAM Footprint |

| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |

| Hinglish CTC (GPU / CUDA) | 0.481s | 0.066x (15x speed) | ~520 MB VRAM |

| Hinglish CTC (CPU) | 0.383s | 0.053x (19x speed) | ~140 MB RAM |

> [!TIP]

> The CTC architecture (Non-Autoregressive) is inherently much faster on CPU than traditional RNN-T or Seq2Seq decoders. For short clips, the CPU executes the model at nearly 20x real-time speed!

3. Comparison vs. Heavyweight Models

| Feature / Model | Hinglish Conformer-CTC GGUF (Ours) | OpenAI Whisper Large V3 |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| Parameter Count | ~120M | ~1.5B |

| RAM/VRAM Footprint| ~140 MB | ~3.1 GB |

| Code-Switching | Excellent native Hinglish support | Tends to force-translate into pure English or pure Hindi |

| Inference Mode | Fast Greedy CTC Decoding | Batch-only (seq2seq autoregressive) |

💻 Integrates perfectly with RenderCaption

This model was explicitly converted and optimized to be run inside RenderCaption—our custom desktop transcription software.

What is RenderCaption?

RenderCaption is a fully offline, high-speed transcription application. It is built using Rust and Tauri, meaning it is incredibly lightweight, fast, and 100% private (no audio is ever sent to the cloud). Instead of writing python code or using terminal commands, you can simply load this model into the RenderCaption desktop app and transcribe audio instantly with a beautiful user interface.

Check out the RenderCaption Desktop App on GitHub Here!

Usage Instructions

To run this model, you need the parakeet-cli C++ execution engine.

1. Go to the parakeet.cpp GitHub Repository.
2. Follow their build instructions to compile the parakeet-cli executable for your specific operating system (Windows/Linux/macOS).
3. Once compiled, open your terminal and run the model using the following command:

parakeet-cli transcribe --model hinglish-conformer-ctc.f32.gguf --input audio.wav --decoder ctc --lang hi
