Do you use it on a desktop? Mac by any chance? What's your setup?

I've been looking to find a simple and fast dictation app for English but almost everything I've tried (from Handy to many apps, eg some with Whisper in their names, after the model I assume) just don't work well. Apple's offering is worse than those though. I even tried with local enhancement models.

You should give VoiceInk[1] a go. It works great and has decent latency.

Agree about Voxtral being the only model — local or cloud — that handles multilingual conversation really well. I‘m not sure what they do differently, but mixed-language sentences and industry terms don‘t seem to faze it where other model begin to struggle.

have you tried groq whisper-turbo? works well for me for multiple different languages

I use Parakeet 3. How does that fare in your testing?
reply
I love it but it misses the business specific words when in different language. Sometimes it stretches them out to fit unrelated words in the language of the rest of the conversation. I miss its speed though.

Try the recent MOSS one? It’s very good

Any possibility to share some of the eval audio?
reply
Of course not, but it’s easily replicable just by mixing different languages conversations together, adding a word here and there of some very specific German jargon.
