We present a unique software toolkit LATE for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and formatted transcription. It has a lightweight front-end and a completely statically compiled and linked stateless back-end for running Whisper-based ASR models. Thus, LATE can be relatively easily deployed and scaled in a cloud infrastructure, as well as run privately on a local PC. The LATE toolkit is available as both open source and precompiled binaries. By default, it comes with fine-tuned Latvian and Latgalian ASR models, as well as the multilingual Whisper model, while compatible models for other languages can be added.
