When NOT to use WhisperLive
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using WhisperLive if the project lacks necessary hardware acceleration via TensorRT, OpenVINO, or is deployed on environments not compatible with Docker configurations.
- Do not choose WhisperLive if a Windows-only solution is required, as its setup instructions are tailored for Linux and macOS.
