Description

[!NOTE]
License and capability clarification (2026-07-14): FunASR is a toolkit, not a single checkpoint. The FunASR and SenseVoice repository source code is MIT; model weights follow each model card. SenseVoiceSmall supports Chinese, Cantonese, English, Japanese, and Korean, and its weights use the linked FunASR Model Open Source License Agreement. Fun-ASR-Nano-2512 is Apache-2.0. Language coverage, punctuation, and performance depend on the selected model and runtime configuration.

Hi! Great on-device voice AI + RAG for Mac!

Would you consider FunASR or SenseVoice as a local STT engine?

Why?

  • Ultra-fast — SenseVoice-Small: ~70ms for 10s audio
  • Built-in punctuation — Clean text output for RAG input
  • Streaming — Real-time voice processing
  • Fully local — No cloud required, perfect for on-device
  • Apple Silicon optimized — Runs well on M-series Macs
  • 50+ languages, Apache 2.0
