+Under the hood, Whisper Voice exploits the raw power of **[Faster-Whisper](https://github.com/SYSTRAN/faster-whisper)**, a hyper-optimized implementation of OpenAI's Whisper model using CTranslate2.
* **Zero Latency Loop**: By eliminating network round-trips, transcription happens as fast as your hardware can think.
* **Privacy by Physics**: Data physically cannot leave your machine because the engine has no cloud uplink. The cable is cut.
-* **Precision Engineering**: Leveraging 8-bit quantization to run even the `Large-v3` models on consumer GPUs with minimal memory footprint.
-
-## ✨ Capabilities
-
-### 🧠 Adaptive Intelligence
-Choose the model that fits your rig. From `Tiny` (low resource, high speed) to `Large` (human-level accuracy). The agent automatically configures itself for your available Compute Device (CUDA GPU or CPU).
-
-### 🚀 Inputs & Injection
-* **Global Hotkey**: A rigorous system-wide hook (default `F9`) puts the ear of the machine at your fingertips.
-* **Simulated Typing**: Bylaws of some applications block pasting? No problem. Our engine simulates keystrokes at supersonic speeds (up to **6000 CPM**), bypassing restrictions like water flowing around a rock.
-* **Clipboard Mode**: Standard, lightning-fast text injection for permissive environments.
-
-### 🛡️ System Integration
-* **Glassmorphic UI**: A modern, non-intrusive QML interface that respects your screen real estate.
-* **Tray Agent**: Retracts to the system tray, maintaining a low profile until summoned.
-* **Bootstrapper**: A self-assembling runtime that provisions its own dependencies using an isolated embedded Python environment. No pollution of your system PATH.
+* **Precision Engineering**: Leveraging 8-bit quantization (`int8`) to run professional-grade models on consumer hardware with minimal memory footprint.

+| Model | GPU VRAM (rec.) | CPU RAM (rec.) | Relative Speed | Capability |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Tiny** | ~500 MB | ~1 GB | Supersonic | Quick commands, simple dictation. |
+| **Base** | ~600 MB | ~1 GB | Very Fast | Good balance for older hardware. |
+| **Small** | ~1 GB | ~2 GB | Fast | Standard driver. High accuracy for English. |
+| **Medium** | ~2 GB | ~4 GB | Moderate | High precision. Great for accents. |
+| **Large-v3 Turbo** | ~4 GB | ~6 GB | Fast/Mod | **Best Balance.** Near Large accuracy at much higher speeds. |
+| **Large-v3** | ~5 GB | ~8 GB | Heavy | Professional grade. Near-perfect understanding. |

+1. **Configure**: Right-click the **System Tray Icon** to open Settings. Select your **Model Size** and **Compute Device**.
2. **Engage**: Press `F9` (or your custom hotkey) to open the channel.
3. **Dictate**: Speak clearly. The noise gate will isolate your voice.
4. **Execute**: Release the key. The machine interprets the signal and injects the text into your active window immediately.
