# STT add-on pins for the KittenTTS side-venv on mars (faster-whisper CPU). # # APPENDED to hosts/mars/kittentts/requirements.txt by the provisioning unit # (see hermes-agent.nix, KittenTTS section) so ONE venv covers the entire # local-audio stack: TTS (KittenTTS) + STT (faster-whisper). Shares the # numpy/onnxruntime pins already frozen there — no version conflicts. # # faster-whisper runs CTranslate2 on CPU; the tiny/base model (~150 MB) # downloads once from the HF hub then works fully offline. Validated # 2026-09-19 with a live Telegram voice note transcribed on i5-4460 CPU. # # NOTE on av: PyP AV 18.x needs libz/libstdc++ from the host. On NixOS those # come via the nix store — the provisioning unit exports LD_LIBRARY_PATH with # them at runtime (see hermes-agent.nix's kittenttsLDLibraryPath). faster-whisper==1.2.1 ctranslate2==4.8.2 av==18.1.0
