descriptionInstall and operate local NVIDIA Parakeet ASR for OpenClaw with an OpenAI-compatible transcription API on Ubuntu/Linux and macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon). Use when the user wants private/local speech-to-text, voice transcription setup, ASR troubleshooting, or OpenClaw voice stack configuration with Parakeet (and optional Whisper fallback).

Parakeet Local ASR

Run local Parakeet ASR in a deterministic way.

Standard workflow

  1. Install/update runtime: 
    bash scripts/bootstrap.sh
  2. Start service: 
    bash scripts/start.sh
  3. Validate service health: 
    bash scripts/healthcheck.sh
  4. (Optional) Run a smoke transcription test with a local audio file: 
    bash scripts/smoke-test.sh /path/to/audio.mp3

Repo location

Default install/update path used by scripts:

  • ~/parakeet-asr

Override with env var before running scripts:

PARAKEET_DIR=/custom/path bash scripts/bootstrap.sh

OpenClaw integration notes

After healthcheck passes, use:

  • URL: http://localhost:9001
  • Endpoint: /v1/audio/transcriptions

If a user requests reliability over purity, keep Whisper as fallback provider.

Safety rules

  • Ask before elevated/package-manager operations.
  • Do not kill unrelated processes.
  • Keep changes scoped to ASR setup unless explicitly asked.
