Transcribing a Lecture and Transcribing a Caller Are Not the Same Problem

Automated excerpt

Transcribing a fifty minute lecture and transcribing a caller on a phone line share a model family and share almost nothing else. That information never reached the model. Larger model, second pass, domain vocabulary, spend the seconds. Cost per hour of audio is your constraint, not latency. Consistent, boring, low latency beats a slightly better transcript, because the caller feels the pause and never sees the transcript.
