Download Core ML optimized Model

How model downloads work

Once you activate your license, you can download Sequence’s optimized encrypted Core ML transcription model powered by Parakeet V3 - learn more about that here.

The model is hosted securely and can only be downloaded through your account in the app.

Open Settings and choose Transcription. If you are signed in and licensed, the model area shows the download action. The file is roughly 1GB, so the first install shouldn’t take too long, but depends on your connection.

Local transcription

After the model is installed, transcription runs locally on your Mac. Your media is not uploaded to a cloud transcription service. Sequence uses the downloaded model on-device, then stores the resulting transcript in your local encrypted project database.

First run and warm runs

The first transcription after downloading can take longer because Sequence prepares the model for your system. Subsequent transcriptions are faster once the model cache is ready.

When a transcription finishes, Sequence unloads the model from system memory to keep the app’s footprint low. If you run several transcriptions close together the model can feel quicker because the model is still hot in memory.

Managing the download

The Transcription settings page also shows the resolved model path and download state. If a download fails, you can try again from the same screen. If you no longer need the model, you can delete the downloaded copy and re-download it later when required.
