--- name: parakeet-local-asr description: Install and operate local NVIDIA Parakeet ASR for OpenClaw with an OpenAI-compatible transcription API on Ubuntu/Linux and macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon). Use when the user wants private/local speech-to-text, voice transcription setup, ASR troubleshooting, or OpenClaw voice stack configuration with Parakeet (and optional Whisper fallback). --- # Parakeet Local ASR Run local Parakeet ASR in a deterministic way. ## Standard workflow 1. Install/update runtime: ```bash bash scripts/bootstrap.sh ``` 2. Start service: ```bash bash scripts/start.sh ``` 3. Validate service health: ```bash bash scripts/healthcheck.sh ``` 4. (Optional) Run a smoke transcription test with a local audio file: ```bash bash scripts/smoke-test.sh /path/to/audio.mp3 ``` ## Repo location Default install/update path used by scripts: - `~/parakeet-asr` Override with env var before running scripts: ```bash PARAKEET_DIR=/custom/path bash scripts/bootstrap.sh ``` ## OpenClaw integration notes After healthcheck passes, use: - URL: `http://localhost:9001` - Endpoint: `/v1/audio/transcriptions` If a user requests reliability over purity, keep Whisper as fallback provider. ## Safety rules - Ask before elevated/package-manager operations. - Do not kill unrelated processes. - Keep changes scoped to ASR setup unless explicitly asked.
