How to choose
Section titled “How to choose”- Open Models from the sidebar or press Cmd+M.
- In Transcription, select an installed model to make it the default.
- Select an uninstalled catalog model to download it. A missing-model dialog can also download the model required by the workflow you started.

Current catalog
Section titled “Current catalog”<ProductFactTable caption=“Local Whisper transcription models” factIds={[‘model_whisper_tiny’, ‘model_whisper_base’, ‘model_whisper_small’, ‘model_whisper_medium’, ‘model_whisper_large_v3_turbo’, ‘model_whisper_large_v3’]} />
The table’s sizes are catalog estimates. They do not establish a disk-space requirement, download guarantee, processing speed, or transcription-accuracy guarantee.
What happens when a model is missing
Section titled “What happens when a model is missing”Synthezia stops the action at a model-requirement dialog rather than attempting to transcribe without a model. Select Download and continue or cancel the workflow; the dialog also displays the current estimated download size.
