How does it compare to models from handy.computer and whisprflow?

Congrats on the launch!

1. I see it uses python, but I was wondering if it would use mlx-swift instead. Just curious if you considered it.

2. So far, qwen ASR seem usually less well supported than parakeet or whisper so far in most dictation applications (voxtral is similar in that regard). Why do you think that is?

Thanks and good luck with your roadmap!

is it better than whisper from oai?

way better from my point of view. I frequently have recordings made in noisy environments. Whisper does not do the job well under such conditions. Also, Qwen respects gramma a lot and splits sentences properly.
