# Ticket: Select ASR Engine and Target Hardware
## Ticket Information
- **ID**: TICKET-009
- **Title**: Select ASR Engine and Target Hardware
- **Type**: Research
- **Priority**: High
- **Status**: Backlog
- **Track**: Voice I/O
- **Milestone**: Milestone 1 - Survey & Architecture
- **Created**: 2024-01-XX
## Description
Decide on ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) engine and deployment:
- Evaluate options: faster-whisper, Whisper.cpp, etc.
- Decide deployment: faster-whisper on 4080, CPU-only on small box, or shared
- Consider model size vs latency trade-offs
- Document hardware requirements
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] ASR engine selected (faster-whisper recommended)
- [ ] Target hardware decided (4080 vs CPU box)
- [ ] Model size selected (medium vs small)
- [ ] Latency requirements documented
- [ ] Decision recorded in architecture docs
## Technical Details
Considerations:
- faster-whisper on 4080: Lower latency, higher quality
- CPU-only on small box: Lower cost, higher latency
- Shared deployment: Resource contention considerations
- Model sizes: tiny/small/medium/base for latency/quality trade-off
## Dependencies
- TICKET-004 (architecture) - helpful context
## Related Files
- `docs/ASR_EVALUATION.md` (to be created)
- `ARCHITECTURE.md`
## Notes
Can run in parallel with TTS and LLM work. Needs wake-word event flow defined for when to start/stop capture.
