## In Dakera

Transcribes audio attachments into searchable memories (`DAKERA_ATTACHMENTS=true`, `DAKERA_WHISPER_MODEL=whisper-small`).

Dakera fetches this speech recognition from this repository first and from the original repositories if it is unreachable, so installs never depend on a single source. Both are checked against the same SHA-256, and the [Dakera Docker image](https://github.com/Dakera-AI/dakera-deploy) ships the default models ready to run, with no download at startup.

## Licence and credit

Apache-2.0, the same as the original model (see [`LICENSE`](https://huggingface.co/DakeraAI/whisper-small/blob/main/LICENSE)). For what the model does, how it was trained and how to cite it, see the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-small).

## About Dakera

**[Dakera](https://dakera.ai) is a self-hosted memory engine for AI agents.** It gives agents long-term memory that survives sessions: hybrid vector and full-text retrieval, reranking, entity extraction and importance decay, in a single Rust binary that runs on your own servers, with an MCP server for Claude, Cursor and other agents.

```bash
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e DAKERA_ROOT_API_KEY=dk-mykey ghcr.io/dakera-ai/dakera:latest
