Overview

hero_voice currently uses Whisper for STT. Per Scott's component work, parakeet models are faster and more accurate. Migrate the default STT path to parakeet, keep Whisper as a fallback option.

Why

Meeting 2026-05-06 (Scott): "hero_voice component / can use parakeet models / much better than whisper, faster".

Acceptance

  • parakeet model integrated as a provider option in hero_aibroker
  • hero_voice STT defaults to parakeet
  • Whisper remains available as fallback (for offline / non-parakeet hosts)
  • Latency improvement measured and documented
