0.7.1 binaries will be available shortly - I am testing a couple of small changes to the PKGBUILD

@peteonrails works perfectly now, thank you!

@dylanhall The ASC files are on the release now, and I verified the sigs are on the keyserver. Give it another go?

Unsure what's going on - I get an error when installing, it's trying to find the file voxtype-0.6.6-linux-x86_64-avx2.asc when only voxtype-0.6.6-linux-x86_64-avx2 exists - looking back i can't see the .asc files attached to any previous build but it worked then, I'm not sure enough of the structure to suggest a fix.

I'm also getting a key import error, possibly related to the missing file, but FYI - otherwise I can probably fix that myself if the file issue is fixed. here's my full output:

v0.5.6 released New features:

  • Moonshine transcription backend (experimental): 200x faster than Whisper on CPU for short recordings. Available in the Parakeet binaries, which now ship with both Parakeet and Moonshine engines. Enable with engine = "moonshine" in config and run voxtype setup model to download a Moonshine model.

  • Voice activity detection: Filters silence before transcription, prevents Whisper hallucinations on empty recordings. Enable with [vad] enabled = true.

  • Eager input processing: Starts transcribing audio while you're still recording. Reduces perceived latency for longer dictations.

  • Recording timeout now transcribes: Audio is no longer silently discarded when max_duration_secs is reached.

  • Append text after transcription: [output] append_text = " " adds a trailing space between dictations.

Bug fixes:

  • GPU isolation subprocess fixed (regression since v0.5.0)

  • Top-level --model flag now correctly forwarded to daemon

  • State file default path fixed

  • RPM package improvements (CPU-detecting wrapper, pipewire-alsa dependency)

New in 0.5.1:

  • Parakeet engine: faster transcription, lower memory usage
  • ROCm GPU acceleration for AMD GPUs (Parakeet)
  • CUDA GPU acceleration for NVIDIA GPUs (Parakeet)
  • Profile support: switch between configurations
  • CLI backend mode for external whisper binaries
