SpeechREC v1.3.0

SpeechREC v1.3.0 — Faster CPU transcription

What's new

• ⚡ 6× faster on CPU — automatically uses Distil-Whisper when model is set to "large" and device is "cpu"
• 🎯 Same quality (<1% accuracy loss)
• 💾 49% smaller model
• 🌐 Multilingual (German, English, and more)

How it works

Just leave the settings at their defaults (model: large, device: auto/cpu) — SpeechREC detects CPU mode automatically and uses the faster Distil-Whisper model behind the scenes.
