Hardware Requirements
EKHOS AI is fully optimized for Windows 10 or 11. It is compatible with most laptops and desktop computers. However, transcription speed and overall performance are significantly influenced by your hardware configuration.
For the best experience, we recommend using a laptop or desktop released from 2019 onward. Older computers may result in slower performance. For enhanced transcription speed, any laptop or desktop computer with an Nvidia RTX GPU will provide faster results.
