Klang, honestly. Now they’ve released their own model too, specifically trained on Swedish, with completely outrageous results for both quality and speed. Almost an hour of audio transcribed in UNDER ONE SECOND. And on a quick check I can’t find A SINGLE OBVIOUS ERROR.
And you know what? Pianissimo has open weights and is available for anyone to use. Even if I never get a single krona back from my investment in this company, it will have been worth every öre. They’re bloody geniuses 🎉
