Note
Medium Risk
Touches core transcription provider selection, config migration, and batch/live routing for Soniqo and Apple Speech; mis-routing could break recording or downloads for existing users.
Overview
On-device speech-to-text is no longer folded into a single “Anarlog local” notion: Soniqo and Apple Speech are first-class STT providers (separate from Anarlog Cloud), with existing
current_stt_provider/ model selections expected to migrate to the right provider IDs.The desktop app uses
isOnDeviceSttModel(replacingisAnarlogLocalSttModel) for paths like local download/status polling inNotificationProviderand STT health, so only true on-device provider+model pairs trigger local STT behavior.Settings → AI → STT gains hardware-aware picking: models carry
recommended_memory_bytes,recommendOnDeviceModelpicks a default from available RAM, and the UI can label the pick with “Best for this Mac” (new Lingui string onselect.tsx).QA critical UX now requires running the on-device matrix for every STT model shown on the QA Mac (not one representative), recording model ID, hardware recommendation status, and per-model pass/fail in release checklists.
