  Congrats on the launch!<p>1. I see it uses python, but I was wondering if it would use mlx-swift instead. Just curious if you considered it.<p>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?<p>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.
