Open the original- What it measures
- The same page says audio and text stay on the machine and gives a peak ASR memory of about 700 MB with no discrete GPU needed.
- What it does not show
- Its installer downloads and verifies models, so a first setup needs a network. The page does not describe that step as offline.
