Cohere Transcribe is a local speech provider, separate from cloud API services. Stenox uses MLX on Apple Silicon to run Cohere Transcribe 03-2026 (8-bit). The pinned model repository is beshkenadze/cohere-transcribe-03-2026-mlx-8bit. A first download needs internet; transcription runs on the Mac afterward. No Cohere API key is required for this provider.

Choose a language

The adapter accepts Arabic, German, Greek, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and Chinese. Choose the spoken language explicitly. Automatic or unsupported language values normalize to English; they do not trigger multilingual auto-detection.

​
Set it up

  1. Edit Default or a custom profile in Profiles.
  2. Select Cohere Transcribe (Local).
  3. Select a supported language and wait for the model to download and load.

The model also appears in Settings → Models. Model management covers resource use and removal. Notetaker follows this shared speech selection and adds meeting-local speaker processing when needed.
