The Whisnap model catalog

Your next
speech model.

Parakeet, Whisper and models for your language. Check real measurements and community reviews, then choose what runs on your Mac.

Install supported models from the Whisnap Mac app and use them for dictation. Pick the model that fits your language and Mac.

For scripts and agents, the free engine, CLI and MCP use the same catalog. The public engine release is not published yet.

Real runs. Shared experience.

Community speed is processing time for varied clip lengths, excluding model loading. Each Mac chip / macOS cohort needs at least 20 successful reports from 5 batches. It is not an end-of-speech latency benchmark.

Run reports are opt-in: model, Mac, timing and outcome, with no audio or text. Reviews require sign-in, one per person per model, and admin approval. Open a model to read or write a review.
