Moved from the README (#347). The README shows charts only; this page holds the text. It is also published at https://sunososobro-hub.github.io/tinglongwu/docs.html.
tinglongWu (Taiwanese 聽攏有, thiann lóng ū: "I understood it all") is real-time speech translation, offline at runtime and verifiable. Install and model download need the network; the in-process guard is defence in depth, not proof (see Privacy, "Privacy model").
Example output:
[RU] Привет, как дела?
[EN] Hello, how are you?
[ZH] 你好，你過得怎麼樣？
Overview: overview. Telling meeting participants first: consent. Architecture: ARCHITECTURE · zh-TW · zh-CN.
