Fritter models

Use Fritter in your app

Speech models for English dictation, fine-tuned on one Irish-English speaker's voice: AI model names, Linux and developer vocabulary, brand names, acronyms, and numbers written as digits. Everything you need to ship one: which model fits, direct links to the weights, the licence, and the line to credit it with.
