System requirements
What your computer needs to run Let Me Solo IT.
All values are approximate and can change with updates.
Every system
| Memory | 8 GB: the app itself uses up to about 480 MB, plus about 620 MB for the Fast model on built-in graphics; the rest is for your call app and the system | |
|---|---|---|
| Internet | Required: to sign in, to check your plan and for hosted answers | |
| Microphone | Optional: it covers only your own side | |
| Local speech recognition | About 265 MB more for Fast and about 575 MB for Balanced, if you use it | |
Local speech recognition (optional)
Local speech recognition turns speech into text on your own computer, so the call's audio stays there. It needs more than the minimum; cloud speech recognition needs none of it. To use it, choose "On this computer" as the Engine in Settings, then Advanced, then Audio. Automatic uses it too when your plan does not include our hosted speech, and as that service's fallback. More detail is in What local speech recognition needs.
These are estimates. We measured two machines (a 2019 entry-level AMD laptop and a 2019 AMD laptop with a GeForce card) and extrapolated to similar hardware by graphics compute and memory. Intel graphics and Apple Macs are not measured yet. On a plan that includes hosted speech, Automatic uses it first, so the local rows matter only when the local model runs: without hosted speech, or when it stands in for it.
| AMD | Intel | NVIDIA | Apple | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hosted speech (your computer does no recognition) | Ryzen 3 2000 series or newer | Core i3 7th gen or newer | — (no graphics card needed) | Any Apple silicon Mac (M1 or newer) |
| Local speech, Fast model (text about 3.5–5 s after a phrase ends; a phrase takes longer while the language is detected) | Ryzen with Radeon Vega 3 graphics or newer integrated graphics (Vega 8: about 2 s per phrase) | Core 11th gen or newer with Iris Xe graphics (not measured) | Any card from the next row | M1 or newer (not measured) |
| Local speech, Balanced model (about 1.3 s per phrase, about 2.1 s while the language is detected) | Radeon RX 5500 / RX 6500 XT or newer, 4 GB or more | Arc A380 or newer (not measured) | GeForce GTX 1650 / RTX 3050 or newer, 4 GB or more; the model stays on the card the whole call | M1 Pro / M2 Pro or newer (not measured) |
With our hosted speech (re-measured on 2026-10-14, the call played aloud): on the Ryzen 3 3200U laptop the app used at most about 330 MB of memory and 20–27 % of one processor core, and the first words showed about 2 s after someone started speaking; on the Ryzen 5 3550H PC, at most about 300 MB and 23–33 % of one core, and about 2.4 s. Right after the language changes, the first words can take up to about 7 s.
All tiers: a 64-bit processor with at least 2 cores and 4 threads, and 8 GB of memory (the app itself uses up to about 480 MB, and on built-in graphics the Fast model takes about 620 MB more of the shared memory; the rest is for your call app and the system). If local speech is too slow, the app says so. On a plan that includes hosted speech it suggests Fast or hosted speech, or hosted speech alone when Fast is too slow; without it, Fast or the "Use the GPU" switch where it is offered, or the switch alone when Fast is too slow.
Your system
Windows
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|

| Processor | 64-bit, with at least 2 cores and 4 threads: AMD Ryzen 3 2000 series or Intel Core i3 7th gen, or newer | |
| Graphics | Only for local speech recognition, as the table above shows, with a Vulkan driver, which current NVIDIA, AMD and Intel drivers include | |
| Storage | About 400 MB | |
| Call's sound | From your speakers or headphones | |
macOS
| Operating system | macOS 13 Ventura or newer | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Apple M1 or newer: any Apple silicon Mac | |
| Graphics | Built into the Apple chip | |
