Open the original- What it measures
- A feature line on the maker's home page, beside the typing speed and latency figures for Outspoken. The page shows 19 language codes after the figure and does not say which engine covers the 99 languages.
- What it does not show
- The page lists 19 of the 99 language codes, so the full list is not visible on the page. The 25 languages of Parakeet v3 and the 99 languages of Whisper Large v3 Turbo that the page also mentions are counts for those models, made by NVIDIA and OpenAI, and are not Outspoken's own counts.
In the data
