nvidiaparakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3
ParakeetTDT¶
Runs the native Parakeet TDT decoder and returns its calibrated timestamp segments.
Parameter metadata: Exact learned-parameter total for VoiceHub's audited native primary graph at the registered default selection; separately loaded auxiliary models are excluded.
Usage¶
Complete the VoiceHub installation once, then run this repository-authored example. Model pages intentionally contain no package-install command.
This example is maintained against VoiceHub's public API; it is not copied from an upstream demo or package README.
Model-specific path: Runs the native Parakeet TDT decoder and returns its calibrated timestamp segments.
Inputs and controls: The registered multilingual release accepts automatic language handling; inspect the returned language metadata.
from pathlib import Path
from voicehub import AutoModelForSpeechRecognition
AUDIO_FILE = Path("speech.wav")
if not AUDIO_FILE.is_file():
raise FileNotFoundError(AUDIO_FILE)
model = AutoModelForSpeechRecognition.from_pretrained(
'nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3',
model_type='asr_parakeet_tdt',
device="cuda",
lazy_load=True,
)
output = model.transcribe(
AUDIO_FILE,
return_timestamps=True,
)
print(output.text)
for segment in output.segments:
print(segment.start, segment.end, segment.text, segment.confidence)
Use authorized recordings. Verify hardware needs and pin a revision in production.
Overview¶
asr_parakeet_tdt is a VoiceHub automatic speech recognition

Paper and GitHub¶
- Paper: No dedicated upstream research paper is published for this integration.
- Upstream GitHub: NVIDIA NeMo
- VoiceHub source: VoiceHub model implementation
Configuration¶
Load configuration without constructing the model:
from voicehub import AutoConfig
config = AutoConfig.for_model('asr_parakeet_tdt')
print(config.model_type)
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Canonical model type | asr_parakeet_tdt |
| Configuration class | ParakeetTDTASRConfig |
| Architecture class | ParakeetTDTForSpeechRecognition |
Processing¶
Create the registered processor without allocating model weights:
from voicehub import AutoProcessor
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
'nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3',
model_type='asr_parakeet_tdt',
)
print(type(processor).__name__)
Inference¶
The Usage example returns ASROutput through AutoModelForSpeechRecognition.
Input and output contract¶
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Readiness | integrated-raw |
| Data architecture | tdt |
| Sample rate | 16,000 Hz |
| Contract getter | get_asr_dataset_spec('asr_parakeet_tdt') |
| Variant | Required fields | One of | Boundary | Other rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|

— | Prepared | — |
Parakeet token-duration transducer audio and transcript records. See the data workflow.
Training and optimization¶
Use available_optimization_passes() to discover reversible public passes.
Unsupported runtime or hardware fails closed before mutation.
Training contract¶
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Support | native |
| Family | tdt |
| Recipe | single-phase |
| Default phase | speech_recognition |
| Training checkpoint | nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3 |

The integration accepts its declared source or prepared contract directly. Call model.validate_training_support() first, then follow the
training workflow.
Checkpoints, provenance, license, and limitations¶
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Default checkpoint | nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3 |
| Hugging Face ID | nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3Repository availability verified through the Hugging Face model API on 2026-08-11; pin a revision before production use. |
| Checkpoint status | Registry default; pin an immutable revision for production and reproducible evidence |
| Optional dependency extra | Core package |
| Hardware and runtime | Usage selects cuda; verify checkpoint-specific requirements |
| Real-checkpoint evidence | Release evidence; a registry default alone is not execution evidence |
| Implementation | voicehub.models.asr_parakeet_tdt.modeling_asr_parakeet_tdt.ParakeetTDTForSpeechRecognition |
| Configuration | voicehub.models.asr_parakeet_tdt.configuration_asr_parakeet_tdt.ParakeetTDTASRConfig |
| Source provenance | voicehub/architectures/parakeet_tdt/SOURCE.json |
| License | CC-BY-4.0 |
The pinned Parakeet TDT checkpoint and derivatives require CC-BY-4.0 attribution. The VoiceHub-owned architecture port is audited against Apache-2.0 Transformers and NeMo source. Commercial use: allowed by the registered terms.
Confirm the checkpoint revision, access terms, provenance, and license.
Limitations¶
- No integration-specific checkpoint limitation is registered. Verify the selected checkpoint revision and its documented runtime requirements.
- Validate memory, precision, and optional dependencies on the target system.
- Public optimizations fail closed when the runtime or hardware cannot satisfy their validation contract; an unavailable pass is not reported as applied.
- Contract tests do not replace the linked released-checkpoint evidence.
