I run the same, if you want try a simple filter post transcription to remove them, and while you're at it add some simple word replacements like 'cloud MD' to 'CLAUDE.MD'

Parakeet unified for me no longer does this and it’s also a streaming transcription model!

But the answer largely depends on you, the languages you speak, and personal preference. Whisper is still excellent and supported in transcribe.cpp

Cohere Transcribe is also excellent, but many of the new models are as well

You should be able to fix this by playing with the mic speech floor. It happens when to much ambient stuff slurps in.

It's actually gaslighting you, you don't say that many ums and ahs ;)
