Why we included this project

For C# developers who want speech recognition without shipping audio to a cloud API, whisper.net is the closest thing to a native Whisper binding for .NET. It wraps whisper.cpp behind a managed interface, so loading a model and transcribing an audio file takes a few lines of code instead of hand-rolled native interop. The runtime selection is the part that stands out: the same package can run on CPU, NVIDIA CUDA, Apple CoreML, Intel OpenVINO, or Vulkan, and it picks whichever accelerator is fastest on the machine in front of it. That keeps it practical for desktop tools and for server-side services that want local transcription, while still working across Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and WebAssembly.
