Apple's New Speech API vs Whisper: The First Real Benchmark
- The result, up front Apple's new SpeechAnalyzer is the most accurate on-device speech engine we tested.
- It beat every Whisper model we ship, including Whisper Small, on both the clean and the noisy half of LibriSpeech, while running roughly three times faster than Small.
- And the API it replaces, SFSpeechRecognizer, came last on clean speech: behind even Whisper Tiny, a 40MB model.
