Just this week I built a live subtitles app for my mother in law who is hard of hearing (she has a hearing aid but still has trouble decoding, but can still read faster than me)

So I ended up organically testing and ending up with SpeechAnalyzer because it was not only fast and accurate enough, but you also see live results as you talk. It also has speaker identification and people can register their voices. And it does all processing on device.

It also had the best model for Indian accented English, given she lives in India.

So I was quite impressed, but the holy grail to me is transcription that does speaker identification but also works in a standard family conversation, where multiple people interrupt each other all the time.

I will say though, I'm really curious as to what Claude Code Desktop uses for their voice mode, because it seems even better than Apple's, and it provides realtime feedback. Maybe they're using apple's model?
