10s spoken → ~1s wait
Transcription runs on Groq’s Whisper. Groq publishes a figure of 216x real-time, and that is their number, not a benchmark we ran.
What that means in practice is that the wait stops being a wait. Below roughly a second, you stop composing a sentence and then dictating it; you just talk.
The speed comes at a cost worth stating plainly: this is a cloud service, so it needs a connection. There is no offline mode.
Specifics
- 216x real-time, Groq’s published figure
