Parrot for Windows v0.2.0

Stability and settings update

This release makes longer dictation more reliable and adds control over your microphone, model, and compute backend.

What's new

• Select any active microphone and keep your choice between launches.
• Choose Accurate (small.en Q5, 181 MB) or Fast (base.en, 142 MB) recognition.
• Prefer CUDA, Vulkan GPU, or CPU—or let Parrot choose automatically.
• Tune end-of-speech protection; the new 400 ms default helps retain final words.
• Use paced text delivery for apps that drop parts of longer prompts.
• Manage the shortcut, recording pill, and Windows startup from Settings.

Get started

Download Parrot-Windows-x64.zip, extract it, and run Parrot.exe.

Note

The accurate model takes a little longer to download and load the first time. Once Parrot says Ready, transcription is fast.
