alt Hacker NewsIs it even worth using apple's? Maybe they have improved it but when they first started using it to transcribe voice memos it was laughably bad (in my experience). I defaulted to whisper.cpp

apple's is 5x faster than `large-v3-turbo` with whisper.cpp and in my test had somewhat worse performance, so it's a tradeoff
I suspect Apple's strengths are in multi-language support.
I use their on-device translation in my apps. Works pretty well. ChatGPT's context-aware translation is better, but it's not on-device.
