Eclipse | AccuCap

We recommend computers running Windows 10 Professional or above at 3 GHz or above, with at least 8 gigabytes of RAM. An i5 processor or above is recommended. The faster the processor, the better. The more RAM, the better. Multiple USB ports are preferred. A serial port or serial adapter (PC card or USB) may be required for realtime connection to older stenographic writers.

We recommend an R7+ (AMD) or i7+ (Inte) processor running at 3.5 GHz or above, 16 or more gigabytes of RAM, a solid-state hard disk (SSD), Dragon 15, and configuration by an expert. Processes should be kept to a minimum.

Eclipse RSR

Eclipse RSR Hardware Recommendations:

Processors:

• For optimal speech-to-text performance, we recommend any of the following.
  • Intel: 11th, 12th and 13th Gen Intel mobile processors
    • Core i7
  • AMD: Zen 4 mobile processors
    • Ryzen 7 
    • Ryzen 9

RAM:

• Recommended: 32GB 
• Docker is essential for running Speechmatics. When Eclipse and Docker are active, the RAM usage can reach 10GB. Therefore, we recommend 32GB or more to ensure smooth usage alongside other applications.

Storage:

• Recommended: 1TB SSD
• Minimum: 500GB SSD

Mac Users

Eclipse REQUIRES Macs with an Intel i5 or i7 processor with at least 8GB of RAM. 

Eclipse will run on a Mac with Windows 10, in conjunction with either Boot Camp and/or Parallels.  However, we recommend using Boot Camp as it would be no different than running Windows on any other laptop, as it boots up separately.

While Parallels is a great program, we do not recommend using Eclipse with it.  Running Parallels requires that your computer is running 2 different operating systems at the same time (Windows OS & Mac OS), which is very resource intensive. Through intensive testing we have found Parallels to freeze unexpectedly, problems with writer connectivity, and problems using plug & play devices (i.e. external mouse).  In a nutshell, using Parallels will probably cause problems that are beyond our control.

M1 & M2 Macs are not compatible with Eclipse as they are not capable of running x86-based operating systems.
