  • Zero cloud dependency means your audio data never leaves your local machine.
  • Unified CLI handles YouTube, TikTok, and local files with identical syntax.
Weaknesses
  • Requires manual ffmpeg installation which adds friction to the quickstart flow.
  • Model selection is fixed to Kroko English, limiting multilingual use cases.
