I wonder if there's a metric or measure of how much jargon goes into a README or other document.

Reading the first three sentences of this README. 43 words, I would consider 15 terms to be jargon incomprehensible to the layman.

Excluding names (Mistral's Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime), you have 1 pretty normal sentence introducing what this is (Streaming speech recognition running natively and in the browser) and the rest is technical details.

It's like complaining that a car description Would contain engine size and output in the third sentence.
