It's amusing (from the comments) how much people are biased towards Apple.
1. Apple does it online, Google does it offline, hence Apple being slower is okay. But why is Apple's transcription more inaccurate then?
2. Google violates privacy because it used 411 data to train its models, hence its speech transcription quality is better. But Apple is the one doing it online, are we sure it's not using the voice data too, similar to how it has/was doing it with Siri?
It will sound like I am trying to defend/promote Google here, but that's very far from my intent.
As an iPhone user since the first iPhone, I just want iPhones to be better. I use iPhones for the same privacy concerns as many of you, but let's not give a pass to Apple. Let’s demand higher quality from them so that they spend the time, money and effort to improve. I don’t want to feel like I am compromising on a worse overall experience in favor of better privacy when i buy my next phone.
