 ## TaSTT: A deliciously free STT
 
 TaSTT (pronounced "tasty") is a free speech-to-text tool for VRChat. It uses
-local machine transcription to turn your voice into text, then sends it into
-VRChat via OSC.

+## Requirements
+
+* ~5GB disk space
+  * I apologize that this is so big. The libraries used to perform
+    GPU-accelerated transcription (pytorch and whisper) are really,
+    really big. There is no performant implementation of Whisper or a
+    any other comparable algorithm available in a systems programming
+    language, so for now we're stuck with this. You only need to
+    download this stuff once!
+* NVIDIA GPU with at least 2GB of spare VRAM.
+  * You *can* run it in CPU mode, but it's really slow and lags you a
+    lot more, so I wouldn't recommend it.
+  * I've tested on a 1080 Ti and a 3090 and saw comparable performance.
+* SteamVR.
+  * No Oculus support, yet.
+* Left joystick click must not be bound to anything else.
+* No write defaults on your avatar if you're using the custom text box.
+
+For the last 3 bullets: please let me know in the Discord if these are
+deal breakers. I'd be happy to fix them!

 ### Motivation
 
 Many VRChat players choose not to use their mics, but as a practical matter,
