That's just for autocorrect, right?
I would like to see an LLM in Siri and eventually even have it interact with/control the rest of the system.
Ideally with Whisper-level speech recognition of course.
- bigfudge 3y agoApples speech recognition is pretty good, at least for me. I always assumed the delta was because it does it in near real time, which is not possible with whisper.
- yreg 3y agoI don't have a great accent, but Whisper understands me >99%. So do my colleagues. I've tried to talk to ChatGPT through a Siri shortcut for a day and Siri transcribed pretty much all of my requests wrong, to the point that GPT seldom understood what I want. Even the Hey Siri … Ask ChatGPT trigger phrase fails ~50% of the time for me.

- coder543 3y agoSiri speech recognition is consistently terrible compared to the alternatives, in my experience. Google and Microsoft have much better speech recognition technology. Whisper is phenomenal by comparison Siri and arguably even what Google and Microsoft use, and no, there is nothing that stops Whisper from being used in real time. I can run real-time Whisper on my iPhone using the Hello Transcribe app, but the last time I tried it, the app itself was too flawed to recommend besides as a demo of real-time transcription. I am looking forward to trying out the new transcription model that Apple is bringing to iOS 17.
- coder543 3y agoApple is supposedly bringing a better, transformer-based speech recognition model to iOS 17 as well, although I don't think either of these transformer models would be classified as a large language model.
