Apple Silicon neural engine. Transcriptions finish before you blink.
0% CPU idle. Under 20MB memory. Like it's not even there.
English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese — auto-detected.

No account. No analytics. No cloud. Voice recordings are processed in real-time and immediately discarded. Nothing is stored. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Under the hood
Kara runs NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B — a state-of-the-art speech recognition model — directly on your Mac's Neural Engine and GPU.
Audio is captured, processed locally in milliseconds, and typed into your active app. Recordings are discarded instantly.
