I don't know to me the level it worked, is what makes it really silly to me that so few things can handle local transcription today without cloud services. I felt like it was 99% accurate running on a crappy win XP system with like 256 MB ram. Seems to me that it's crazy that 20 years later we're "well we need to hook you up to a supercomputer to do that".

We literally have Enterprise wide systems where I work that had version upgrades over the last few years that moved transactions from our servers to cloud based ones. It's been a fucking mess for every single application that did that. Regular outages with no real communication or ETA, and there's nothing my team can do about it
