📦 Models & Assets

Due to GitHub size limits, speech models and voice data are zipped into Main-Engine.zip.
This archive contains:

• Main-Engine/Model/
• Main-Engine/TTS-Engine/
• Main-Engine/STT-Engine/
• Main-Engine/Images/
• Main-Engine/Sound/
• Main-Engine/Source/

Extract Main-Engine.zip into the project directory before running NectarSTT.

💡 A setup script or model downloader may be added in future releases.

🚀 Roadmap / Ideas

• Automated model download & setup script
• Extended TTS engine support
• Additional language models
• Optional Futher GPU acceleration (where supported)
• Enhanced logging and debugging tools
