# 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).
