Word Error Rate is the standard metric for transcription accuracy, but most dictation users have never calculated it. Here's how to benchmark your setup and fix what's wrong.
Bilingual professionals lose 15+ minutes daily toggling dictation languages. Here's how to dictate in multiple languages with zero friction using on-device models.
A plain-language breakdown of Neural Engine, Metal, and unified memory, explaining exactly how Whisper transcribes your speech without ever leaving your Mac.
We benchmarked every Whisper model variant on real dictation tasks. The results surprised us: the largest model isn't always the smartest choice for daily voice input.
