This new API utilizes the Apple Neural Engine to achieve significant improvements in speed and accuracy, reportedly being three times faster than Whisper Small with a Word Error Rate (WER) of 2.12%. Despite these advancements, the API's current limitations include support only for English and a lack of speaker diarization capabilities. AI
