Note

License and capability clarification (2026-07-14): FunASR is a toolkit, not a single checkpoint. The FunASR and SenseVoice repository source code is MIT; model weights follow each model card. SenseVoiceSmall supports Chinese, Cantonese, English, Japanese, and Korean, and its weights use the linked FunASR Model Open Source License Agreement. Fun-ASR-Nano-2512 is Apache-2.0. Language coverage, punctuation, and performance depend on the selected model and runtime configuration.

Hi! Great on-device voice AI + RAG for Mac!

Would you consider FunASR or SenseVoice as a local STT engine?

Why?

• Ultra-fast — SenseVoice-Small: ~70ms for 10s audio
• Built-in punctuation — Clean text output for RAG input
• Streaming — Real-time voice processing
• Fully local — No cloud required, perfect for on-device
• Apple Silicon optimized — Runs well on M-series Macs
• 50+ languages, Apache 2.0
