CPU-Only Mode

No GPU Detected?

EdgeNote AI works without a dedicated GPU using CPU-only mode. Processing will be slower, but all features remain available. We recommend using smaller models for better performance.

CPU Mode Recommendations

Use Whisper Tiny or Small for transcription
Use Qwen 1.7B or DeepSeek R1 1.5B for summarization
Increase CPU threads in Settings > Advanced

Windows Version Requirements

Windows 10

Version 1903 or later. Both Home and Pro editions supported.
