The post argues that local STT is catching up fast: Willow looks better in one test, Superwhisper performs better locally, and Apple’s upcoming SpeechAnalyzer in iOS 27 is already “almost good enough.”
The broader conclusion is that paid transcription subscriptions may be on borrowed time, because the market is moving toward a local, free STT app—and that app may eventually be built into the operating system itself.
