# Fritter

Speech models for English dictation, fine-tuned on one Irish-English speaker's recorded voice: AI model names,
Linux and developer vocabulary, brand names, acronyms, and numbers written as digits.

**Try it:** [Fritter Demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Fritter-ASR/Fritter-Demo) runs Fritter in your browser, on your own device.

**Putting Fritter in an app?** [Fritter Models](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Fritter-ASR/Fritter-Models) lists every build with direct download links, the licence (free for non-commercial use with attribution) and the attribution line to use.

## Models

## History

Fritter started as a proof of concept on [Daniel Rosehill's](https://huggingface.co/danielrosehill) personal
account (Fritter v1.0 to v1.3, Fritter Nemotron v1.0, Fritter TTS v1). It moved to this organisation in
November 2026 so the models, the demo and the data index sit in one place and are easier to maintain. New
releases are published here; the original repositories stay online so existing links keep working.

## Licence

The weights are released under CC-BY-NC-4.0: free for non-commercial use with attribution. Base models keep
their own licences (NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v2, NVIDIA Nemotron streaming, Qwen3-TTS). Not affiliated with NVIDIA
