Parakeet MLX (CLI)

Use parakeet-mlx to transcribe audio locally on Apple Silicon.

Quick start

  • parakeet-mlx /path/audio.mp3 --output-format txt
  • parakeet-mlx /path/audio.m4a --output-format vtt --highlight-words
  • parakeet-mlx *.mp3 --output-format all

Notes

  • Install CLI with: uv tool install parakeet-mlx -U (not uv add or pip install)
  • Use parakeet-mlx --help to see all options (--help, not -h).
  • Models download from Hugging Face to ~/.cache/huggingface on first run.
  • Default model: mlx-community/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3 (optimized for Apple Silicon).
  • Requires ffmpeg installed for audio processing.
  • Output formats: txt, srt, vtt, json, or all.
  • Use --verbose for detailed progress and confidence scores.
  • Accepts multiple files (shell wildcards like *.mp3 work).
