transcribe-cpp-native 0.0.4

Prebuilt native library for transcribe-cpp (speech-to-text, ggml)

transcribe-cpp-native

Prebuilt native library for transcribe-cpp, the Python bindings for transcribe.cpp (local speech-to-text on ggml).

You normally don't install this directly — pip install transcribe-cpp depends on it. It carries no Python API; it bundles the libtranscribe shared library plus its ggml backend libraries and registers them with the bindings via the transcribe_cpp.native entry point.

What each artifact ships:

Artifact	Backends
Linux x86_64 wheel	CPU (conservative baseline) + Vulkan backend module
Windows x86_64 wheel	CPU (conservative baseline) + Vulkan backend module
macOS arm64 wheel	Metal (embedded shaders) + CPU
sdist	builds from source; machine-tuned CPU by default, backends via CMAKE_ARGS

The Vulkan backend ships as a dynamic ggml module: on machines without a Vulkan loader or driver it simply fails to load and CPU keeps working — no crash, no import error. Specialized providers (e.g. CUDA) are separate packages installed alongside this one via extras of transcribe-cpp.

Building from the sdist requires CMake ≥ 3.21, Ninja, and a C++17 compiler; backend selection follows the repo's CMake options, e.g.:

CMAKE_ARGS="-DTRANSCRIBE_VULKAN=ON" pip install --no-binary :all: transcribe-cpp-native
