Open the original- What it measures
- The page says the Language picker sits under the dictation model. The app's home page gives the same figure, saying Whisper hears 29 languages and can detect which one you are speaking.
- What it does not show
- The count is the app's own language list, as its maker states it. The app's 27 interface languages are a different count, for the app's screens, and are not counted here. The page says the three English models hear English only, and that bigger models are slower.
