RTF

An on-device speech inference performance metric defined as the ratio of the time required to process audio to the duration of the audio itself. RTF<1 indicates faster than real time, while RTF>1 indicates inference cannot keep pace with audio arrival.

RTF measurement is highly dependent on preconditions such as device model, CPU cores and frequency, whether SIMD instructions are enabled, number of threads, batch processing versus streaming chunking, and audio sample rate and bit depth.

Real-time factor (RTF) refers to the ratio of the time required to process audio to the duration of the audio itself; an RTF less than 1 means processing is faster than real time; Parakeet's RTF is 0.014 and Whisper's RTF is 0.095.

An RTF (Real-Time Factor) of less than 1 means the system processes faster than the audio playback speed, which is the baseline threshold for achieving truly real-time transcription.

RTF (Real-Time Factor) is defined as the ratio of the computation time required to generate audio to the duration of that audio, with a 5x real-time speed corresponding to an RTF of 0.2.
