In the source's own words

“OpenAI's Whisper model running locally on your Mac. Multiple model sizes: Tiny, Base, Small, Medium, Large, Large Turbo. Larger models are more accurate but require more RAM and processing time. Best on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and later). Supports 100+ languages.”

What it measures
On VivaDicta's transcription models page the Whisper entry sits under Local Models, which the page says run entirely on the Mac. The page gives Whisper's language count in the same entry as its model sizes.
What it does not show
The figure is a lower bound printed as 100+, and it is VivaDicta's statement about the Whisper model it offers, with no test set or date. The homepage's 100+ languages appears beside its translation feature, so it is not used as a separate figure. The page's counts for Parakeet, Qwen3-ASR, Canary and Cohere come from models made by others and are not rows for VivaDicta.

In the data

A row of How Many Languages Speech Recognition Supports, as VivaDicta, Whisper models: 100 languages.
