Mercury: pure-Rust Whisper speech engine

A pure-Rust OpenAI Whisper implementation — the ASR engine inside FFAI, published standalone

Replaces: Whisper.cpp

What is Mercury, the pure-Rust Whisper speech engine?

Mercury is a pure-Rust OpenAI Whisper implementation. It is the ASR engine inside FFAI, and it is also published on its own so a program can take speech recognition without the rest of the AI media library.

What Mercury replaces

Mercury is the pure-Rust Whisper speech engine. It is the ASR engine inside FFAI, published so it can be used on its own.

Why Mercury is a pure-Rust Whisper speech engine

What Mercury keeps from Whisper.cpp

Mercury keeps Whisper-style speech recognition and drops the C++ runtime. A caller that already knows Whisper.cpp is looking at the same job, written in Rust.

Where Mercury fits

Mercury is one engine under FFAI, next to Carmenta for text in images. Use Mercury when the only job is speech.
