With MacWhisper you can select the Apple models, it took almost 4x as long to transcribe the same file versus this software and MacWhisper/Parakeet3.

interesting! I only tested against Parakeet v2 because my agent suggested it would be faster for English transcription (v3 is multilingual but somewhat slower, it suggested)

On my bench, parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 is 2x slower

I wonder if you're using different Apple models when you go through that app? I don't know
