Samples
Transcribed by GPT Transcribe via OpenRouter. The same three clips go to every speech-to-text model in the catalog, so the only thing that changes between two models’ transcripts is the model. The clips are synthetic speech made with ElevenLabs v4, and a word that differs from the spoken script is underlined. The numbers clip is left unmarked, since “12” and “twelve” are both right.
