  ## Key Features
  
  *   **C++17 Inference:** A native C++ port of NVIDIA's NeMo Parakeet ASR models, built on ggml.
  *   **Fast & Dependency-Light:** Optimized for CPU (and GPU via ggml backends) with no Python runtime needed at inference.
  *   **Comprehensive Model Support:** Covers all offline Parakeet families (CTC, RNNT, TDT, hybrid TDT-CTC, 0.6B/1.1B/110M sizes, English + multilingual v3).
  *   **Cache-Aware Streaming:** Includes end-of-utterance (EOU) detection for `parakeet_realtime_eou_120m-v1`.
  *   **Multilingual & Prompt-Conditioned:** Supports `nvidia/nemotron-3.5-asr-streaming-0.6b` (40+ locales) with language prompting.
  *   **Performance:** Faster than NeMo's PyTorch runtime on both CPU and GPU, with byte-identical transcripts.
