FAQPage Schema
How do I configure local STT for Hermes gateway using whisper.cpp?▼

To configure local STT for Hermes gateway, set HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND to point to whisper-cli, configure config.yaml with the local_command provider, and restart the gateway. This enables fast, private voice transcription without external services.

Can I use Vulkan GPU acceleration for whisper.cpp voice transcription?▼

Yes, whisper.cpp supports Vulkan GPU acceleration for voice transcription. You must set the VK_ICD_FILENAMES environment variable to enable it, allowing the Hermes gateway to process Discord and Telegram voice messages locally with improved performance.

Does Hermes gateway support local transcription for Discord voice messages?▼

Hermes gateway supports local transcription for Discord voice messages via whisper.cpp CLI. By configuring the local_command provider in config.yaml and pointing HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND to whisper-cli, you achieve private, local STT processing.

What environment variables are required for whisper.cpp local STT setup?▼

Whisper.cpp local STT setup requires VK_ICD_FILENAMES for Vulkan GPU acceleration and HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND pointing to the whisper-cli executable. You must also configure config.yaml with the local_command provider and restart the Hermes gateway.

Why are my local voice transcriptions not working after whisper.cpp setup?▼

Local voice transcriptions may fail if the Hermes gateway was not restarted after config.yaml changes. Ensure VK_ICD_FILENAMES and HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND are correctly set in your environment and the local_command provider is properly configured before restarting.

Do I need external STT services if I use whisper.cpp with Hermes gateway?▼

No, you do not need external STT services when using whisper.cpp with Hermes gateway. It provides local, private voice transcription for platforms like Discord and Telegram by leveraging Vulkan GPU acceleration and environment-based configuration without requiring code changes.
