Key features

Parakeet TDT v2 handles English, while Parakeet TDT v3 supports 25 European languages. Both are optional and run locally through FluidAudio 0.15.6
The global shortcut supports press-to-start/press-to-stop and hold-to-talk modes
Microphone choices use stable Core Audio device identifiers. If a selected device is missing, recording stops with a clear error instead of changing inputs
A personal dictionary supplies recognition hints to Whisper and compatible cloud services. Literal replacements work with every engine, including Parakeet
