Source description

typhoon-whisper-turbo-mlx

An MLX (Apple Silicon) conversion of typhoon-ai/typhoon-whisper-turbo — SCB 10X's Thai fine-tune of OpenAI Whisper large-v3-turbo (~800M params). float16 weights, ready for mlx-whisper.

Usage

import mlx_whisper
r = mlx_whisper.transcribe("audio.wav", path_or_hf_repo="chayapats/typhoon-whisper-turbo-mlx")
print(r["text"])

Runs fully on-device on Apple Silicon — no network, no API key.

Used by

OLIV — free, open-source (MIT) Thai dictation for macOS. Press a hotkey, speak Thai or English, and the text lands in whatever app you're in. This model is its speech-to-text engine, running locally on the Mac.

This conversion exists because of OLIV: in its benchmark, typhoon-whisper-turbo runs ahead of a Whisper-large-v3 Thai fine-tune at roughly half the size, with faster decode. Numbers, audio samples, and the full methodology are published here — nothing is hand-picked:
