Can it switch languages automatically?
Yes, Aqua can automatically switch between all supported languages. Set your language to “Auto-Detect” in settings.---
How accurate is Aqua's transcription for different languages?
Aqua uses its own proprietary inference engine and models to deliver state-of-the-art accuracy across all supported languages.
Our transcription technology achieves extreme accuracy levels that meet or exceed current industry benchmarks, ensuring reliable performance regardless of which language you're using.
Are some languages more accurate than others?
Yes, accuracy can vary between languages. Like most speech recognition systems, language accuracy correlates with the amount and quality of training data available for each language.
The accuracy distribution across our supported languages is similar to the word error rate patterns found in leading models like Whisper and Voxel, with widely-spoken languages typically showing the highest accuracy rates.
Does transcription accuracy vary by accent or dialect?
Aqua was specifically designed to adapt to:
- Accented speech
- Noisy environments
- Multilingual speakers
Our models are trained to handle diverse accents and speaking styles, making Aqua particularly effective for users with non-native accents or those working in challenging audio conditions.
How does auto-detect work?
To use automatic language detection, simply set your language preference to "Auto-Detect" in Aqua settings.
Once enabled, each transcription session will automatically identify and transcribe the spoken language without requiring manual switching.
Does auto-detect impact latency or speed?
No impact on speed. Auto-detect has zero effect on transcription latency—Aqua's language detection happens seamlessly in real-time without adding any delay to your dictation experience.
