Hopefully the speech recognition is better than whatever the fuck most online video platforms use for automatic subtitles at the moment.

I've built an app with Whisper, the level of 'hit or miss' entirely depends on the size of the model and language. Even audio quality is a lesser factor in my experience. So, it depends...

I was messing around with HomeAssistant the other day, which uses the same speech recognition engine, and I found it to be decent.
