Machine-learning models
The high-accuracy transcription mode uses the whisper-large-v3-turbo model based on OpenAI's Whisper (MIT License), as converted to Core ML by argmaxinc/whisperkit-coreml. The standard transcription mode and meeting-notes generation use Apple's on-device frameworks (SpeechAnalyzer / Foundation Models).
