+## Benchmark Results
+
+Testing on MacBook M3 with NLLB-200-distilled-600M model:
+
+### Standard Transformers vs CTranslate2
+
+| Test Text | Standard Inference Time | CTranslate2 Inference Time | Speedup |
+|-----------|-------------------------|---------------------------|---------|
+| UN Chief says there is no military solution in Syria | 0.9395s | 2.0472s | 0.5x |
+| The rapid advancement of AI technology is transforming various industries | 0.7171s | 1.7516s | 0.4x |
+| Climate change poses a significant threat to global ecosystems | 0.8533s | 1.8323s | 0.5x |
+| International cooperation is essential for addressing global challenges | 0.7209s | 1.3575s | 0.5x |
+| The development of renewable energy sources is crucial for a sustainable future | 0.8760s | 1.5589s | 0.6x |
+
+**Results:**
+- Total Standard time: 4.1068s
+- Total CTranslate2 time: 8.5476s
+- CTranslate2 is slower on this system --> Use Transformers, and ideally we would have an mlx implementation.
+
+
+# 3. SortFormer Diarization: 4-to-2 Speaker Constraint Algorithm
 
 Transform a diarization model that predicts up to 4 speakers into one that predicts up to 2 speakers by mapping the output predictions.

+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

-An important list of parameters can be changed. But what *should* you change?
-- the `--model` size. List and recommandations [here](https://github.com/QuentinFuxa/WhisperLiveKit/blob/main/available_models.md)
-- the `--language`.  List [here](https://github.com/QuentinFuxa/WhisperLiveKit/blob/main/whisperlivekit/simul_whisper/whisper/tokenizer.py). If you use `auto`, the model attempts to detect the language automatically, but it tends to bias towards English.
-- the `--backend` ? you can switch to `--backend faster-whisper` if  `simulstreaming` does not work correctly or if you prefer to avoid the dual-license requirements.
-- `--warmup-file`, if you have one
-- `--task translate`, to translate in english
-- `--host`, `--port`, `--ssl-certfile`, `--ssl-keyfile`, if you set up a server
-- `--diarization`, if you want to use it.
-- [BETA] `--target-language`, to translate using NLLB. [118 languages available](https://github.com/QuentinFuxa/WhisperLiveKit/blob/main/whisperlivekit/translation/mapping_languages.py). If you want to translate to english, you should rather use `--task translate`, since Whisper can do it directly.

+# WhisperLiveKit WebSocket API Documentation
+
+> !! **Note**: The new API structure described in this document is currently under deployment. 
+This documentation is intended for devs who want to build custom frontends.
+
+WLK provides real-time speech transcription, speaker diarization, and translation through a WebSocket API. The server sends incremental updates as audio is processed, allowing clients to display live transcription results with minimal latency.
+
+---
+
+## Legacy API (Current)
+
+### Message Structure
+
+The current API sends complete state snapshots on each update (several time per second)
+
+```typescript
+{
+  "type": str,
+  "status": str,
+  "lines": [
+    {
+      "speaker": int,
+      "text": str,
+      "start": float,
+      "end": float,
+      "translation": str | null,
+      "detected_language": str
+    }
+  ],
+  "buffer_transcription": str,
+  "buffer_diarization": str,
+  "remaining_time_transcription": float,
+  "remaining_time_diarization": float
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## New API (Under Development)
+
+### Philosophy
+
+Principles:
+
+- **Incremental Updates**: Only updates and new segments are sent
+- **Ephemeral Buffers**: Temporary, unvalidated data displayed in real-time but overwritten on next update, at speaker level
+
+
+## Message Format
+
+
+```typescript
+{
+  "type": "transcript_update",
+  "status": "active_transcription" | "no_audio_detected",
+  "segments": [
+    {
+      "id": number,
+      "speaker": number,
+      "text": string,
+      "start_speaker": float,
+      "start": float,
+      "end": float,
+      "language": string | null,
+      "translation": string,
+      "words": [
+        {
+          "text": string,
+          "start": float,
+          "end": float,
+          "validated": {
+            "text": boolean,
+            "speaker": boolean,
+          }
+        }
+      ],
+      "buffer": {
+        "transcription": string,
+        "diarization": string,
+        "translation": string
+      }
+    }
+  ],
+  "metadata": {
+    "remaining_time_transcription": float,
+    "remaining_time_diarization": float
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Other Message Types
+
+#### Config Message (sent on connection)
+```json
+{
+  "type": "config",
+  "useAudioWorklet": true / false
+}
+```
+
+#### Ready to Stop Message (sent after processing complete)
+```json
+{
+  "type": "ready_to_stop"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Field Descriptions
+
+### Segment Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `id` | `number` | Unique identifier for this segment. Used by clients to update specific segments efficiently. |
+| `speaker` | `number` | Speaker ID (1, 2, 3...). Special value `-2` indicates silence. |
+| `text` | `string` | Validated transcription text for this update. Should be **appended** to the segment's text on the client side.  |
+| `start_speaker` | `float` | Timestamp (seconds) when this speaker segment began. |
+| `start` | `float` | Timestamp (seconds) of the first word in this update. |
+| `end` | `float` | Timestamp (seconds) of the last word in this update. |
+| `language` | `string \| null` | ISO language code (e.g., "en", "fr"). `null` until language is detected. |
+| `translation` | `string` | Validated translation text for this update. Should be **appended** to the segment's translation on the client side. |
+| `words` | `Array` | Array of word-level objects with timing and validation information. |
+| `buffer` | `Object` | Per-segment temporary buffers, see below |
+
+### Word Object
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `text` | `string` | The word text. |
+| `start` | `number` | Start timestamp (seconds) of this word. |
+| `end` | `number` | End timestamp (seconds) of this word. |
+| `validated.text` | `boolean` | Whether the transcription text has been validated. if false, word is also in buffer: transcription |
+| `validated.speaker` | `boolean` | Whether the speaker assignment has been validated. if false, word is also in buffer: diarization |
+| `validated.language` | `boolean` | Whether the language detection has been validated. if false, word is also in buffer: translation |
+
+### Buffer Object (Per-Segment)
+
+Buffers are **ephemeral**. They should be displayed to the user but not stored permanently in the frontend. Each update may contain a completely different buffer value, and previous buffer is likely to be in the next validated text.
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `transcription` | `string` | Pending transcription text. Displayed immediately but **overwritten** on next update. |
+| `diarization` | `string` | Pending diarization text (text waiting for speaker assignment). Displayed immediately but **overwritten** on next update. |
+| `translation` | `string` | Pending translation text. Displayed immediately but **overwritten** on next update. |
+
+
+### Metadata Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `remaining_time_transcription` | `float` | Seconds of audio waiting for transcription processing. |
+| `remaining_time_diarization` | `float` | Seconds of audio waiting for speaker diarization. |
+
+### Status Values
+
+| Status | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `active_transcription` | Normal operation, transcription is active. |
+| `no_audio_detected` | No audio has been detected yet. |
+
+---
+
+## Update Behavior
+
+### Incremental Updates
+
+The API sends **only changed or new segments**. Clients should:
+
+1. Maintain a local map of segments by ID
+2. When receiving an update, merge/update segments by ID
+3. Render only the changed segments
+
+### Language Detection
+
+When language is detected for a segment:
+
+```jsonc
+// Update 1: No language yet
+{
+  "segments": [
+    {"id": 1, "speaker": 1, "text": "May see", "language": null}
+  ]
+}
+
+// Update 2: Same segment ID, language now detected
+{
+  "segments": [
+    {"id": 1, "speaker": 1, "text": "Merci", "language": "fr"}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Client behavior**: **Replace** the existing segment with the same ID.
+
+### Buffer Behavior
+
+Buffers are **per-segment** to handle multi-speaker scenarios correctly.
+
+#### Example: Translation with diarization and translation
+
+```jsonc
+// Update 1
+{
+  "segments": [
+    {
+      "id": 1,
+      "speaker": 1,
+      "text": "Hello world, how are",
+      "translation": "",
+      "buffer": {
+        "transcription": "",
+        "diarization": " you on",
+        "translation": "Bonjour le monde"
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+
+

+- **`.pt` / `.bin` / `.safetensor` formats** Should be openable by pytorch/safetensor.
+
+## Directory Path (recommended)
+Must contain:

+
+May optionally contain:
+- **`.bin` file** - faster-whisper model for encoder (requires faster-whisper)

+## Hugging Face Repo ID
+- Provide the repo ID (e.g. `openai/whisper-large-v3`) and WhisperLiveKit will download and cache the snapshot automatically. For gated repos, authenticate via `huggingface-cli login` first.
+
+To improve speed/reduce allucinations, you may want to use `scripts/determine_alignment_heads.py` to determine the alignment heads to use for your model, and use the `--custom-alignment-heads` to pass them to WLK. If not, alignement heads are set to be all the heads of the last half layer of decoder.

+# Supported Languages
+
+WhisperLiveKit supports translation into **201 languages** from the FLORES-200 dataset through the NLLB (No Language Left Behind) translation system. 
+
+## How to Specify Languages
+
+You can specify languages in **three different ways**:
+
+1. **Language Name** (case-insensitive): `"English"`, `"French"`, `"Spanish"`
+2. **ISO Language Code**: `"en"`, `"fr"`, `"es"`
+3. **NLLB Code** (FLORES-200): `"eng_Latn"`, `"fra_Latn"`, `"spa_Latn"`
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Command Line
+```bash
+# Using language name
+whisperlivekit-server --target-language "French"
+
+# Using ISO code
+whisperlivekit-server --target-language fr
+
+# Using NLLB code
+whisperlivekit-server --target-language fra_Latn
+```
+
+### Python API
+```python
+from nllw.translation import get_language_info
+
+# Get language information by name
+lang_info = get_language_info("French")
+print(lang_info)
+# {'name': 'French', 'nllb': 'fra_Latn', 'language_code': 'fr'}
+
+# Get language information by ISO code
+lang_info = get_language_info("fr")
+
+# Get language information by NLLB code
+lang_info = get_language_info("fra_Latn")
+
+# All three return the same result
+```
+
+## Complete Language List

+# Technical Integration Guide
+
+This document introduce how to reuse the core components when you do **not** want to ship the bundled frontend, FastAPI server, or even the provided CLI.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Runtime Components
+
+| Layer | File(s) | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|---------|
+| Transport | `whisperlivekit/basic_server.py`, any ASGI/WebSocket server | Accepts audio over WebSocket (MediaRecorder WebM or raw PCM chunks) and streams JSON updates back |
+| Audio processing | `whisperlivekit/audio_processor.py` | Buffers audio, orchestrates transcription, diarization, translation, handles FFmpeg/PCM input |
+| Engines | `whisperlivekit/core.py`, `whisperlivekit/simul_whisper/*`, `whisperlivekit/local_agreement/*` | Load models once (SimulStreaming or LocalAgreement), expose `TranscriptionEngine` and helpers |
+| Frontends | `whisperlivekit/web/*`, `chrome-extension/*` | Optional UI layers feeding the WebSocket endpoint |
+
+**Key idea:** The server boundary is just `AudioProcessor.process_audio()` for incoming bytes and the async generator returned by `AudioProcessor.create_tasks()` for outgoing updates (`FrontData`). Everything else is optional.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Running Without the Bundled Frontend
+
+1. Start the server/engine however you like:
+   ```bash
+   wlk --model small --language en --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000
+   # or launch your own app that instantiates TranscriptionEngine(...)
+   ```
+2. Build your own client (browser, mobile, desktop) that:
+   - Opens `ws(s)://<host>:<port>/asr`
+   - Sends either MediaRecorder/Opus WebM blobs **or** raw PCM (`--pcm-input` on the server tells the client to use the AudioWorklet).
+   - Consumes the JSON payload defined in `docs/API.md`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Running Without FastAPI
+
+`whisperlivekit/basic_server.py` is just an example. Any async framework works, as long as you:
+
+1. Create a global `TranscriptionEngine` (expensive to initialize; reuse it).
+2. Instantiate `AudioProcessor(transcription_engine=engine)` for each connection.
+3. Call `create_tasks()` to get the async generator, `process_audio()` with incoming bytes, and ensure `cleanup()` runs when the client disconnects.
+
+
+If you prefer to send compressed audio, instantiate `AudioProcessor(pcm_input=False)` and pipe encoded chunks through `FFmpegManager` transparently—just ensure `ffmpeg` is available or be ready to handle the `"ffmpeg_not_found"` error in the streamed `FrontData`.
