What we learned
- Speech needs capacity. A server needs enough memory for the model and the recordings it processes.
- Keep jobs separate. Dictation, paid API access and accounts each have their own records, so one can change without breaking the others.
- Shared graphics cards fill up. Running several models on one card needs planning. The guide below shows how.
