How does it compare to the more well established https://github.com/cjpais/handy? Are there any stand out features (for either option)? What was the reason for writing your own rather than using or improving existing software?

Not sure I know what you mean by IR...

But in this case I built hyprwhspr for Linux (Arch at first).

The goal was (is) the absolute best performance, in both accuracy & speed.

Python, via CUDA, on a NVIDIA GPU, is where that exists.

For example:

The #1 model on the ASR (automatic speech recognition) hugging face board is Cohere Transcribe and it is not yet 2 weeks old.

The ecosystem choices allowed me to hook it up in a night.

Other hardware types also work great on Linux due to its adaptability.

In short, the local stt peak is Linux/Wayland.

IR was a typo, meant "it" (fixed it). I blame the phone keyboard plus insufficient proof reading on my part.

If this needs nvidia CPU acceleration for good performance it is not useful to me, I have Intel graphics and handy works fine.

		It works well with anything. :) That said: If handy works, no need whatsoever to change.
