Finn Voorhees Posts Voz Speech-to-Text Speed Claims

Finn Voorhees posted that heavily optimizing models for Apple's Neural Engine produces 5-20x faster speech-to-text on iPhones and Macs. He presented Voz, a rearchitected version of NVIDIA's Parakeet, as capable of transcribing half an hour of audio in 5 seconds entirely on device. The attached video shows a split-screen UI on an M4 Max with the header "transcribing 30 minutes of audio," left column labeled Desert Ant Voz and right column Apple SpeechAnalyzer, both showing live transcription.
