WindyWord.ai STT — Igbo Lingua (GPU (safetensors))

Transcribes Igbo speech (Niger-Congo > Volta-Niger).

Note: Quality caveat: model is whisper-tiny-igbo (39M params, 4 layers); audited at 157% WER. Limited capacity at this parameter size; for production use we recommend an openai/whisper-large-v3 multilingual fallback.
