API Overview

#include <parakeet/api/parakeet_c.h>

// Create → transcribe → read result → free
parakeet_transcriber_t t = parakeet_transcriber_create(weights, vocab, NULL);
parakeet_result_t r = parakeet_transcriber_transcribe_file(t, "audio.wav", NULL);
printf("%s\n", parakeet_result_text(r));
parakeet_result_free(r);
parakeet_transcriber_free(t);

All 5 transcriber types are wrapped, plus audio I/O, VAD, and result accessors. Error handling uses a thread-local error string via parakeet_last_error().

See parakeet_c.h for the full API reference.
