Missing parts of transcription and adding in random words

Feature Request

Not sure if this started happening recently or I'm just noticing it because I'm using Vowen a lot more. But sometimes it'll miss entire parts of what I'm saying and then instead insert random words. I know that if I have the mic open and I make noises, it'll try to interpret those noises as words. I think that's why sometimes it'll end things with “Thank you” (which still happens, less than before though).

- Note: all of this was spoken through Vowen. Note this next paragraph! -


But also it's been inserting specific words. Vocabulary Vocabulary Vocabulary And other times it's more gibberish Vocabulary But in longer texts, it's missed entire blocks of what I'm saying.

Lol okay, I was going to paste another example, but I guess I don't have to because you can see it in the paragraph above, which I just dictated. I never said the word “Vocabulary” and It's been inserting that specific word all over the place. I have some other examples with other words, but this one is the one that’s been happening the most

I think that my webcam mic is faulty and not picking up a strong signal. So I suspect that that's probably the cause, but I guess it's still kind of weird that it would behave like this, with that specific word.

    We’ve made further improvements to this workflow, and have noticed fewer occurrences of this. Closing for now

    @Adrian Pauly Which transcription model you are using? I’ll look into this, we’ve had reports of Groq Whisper Large v3 turbo hallucinating. We can take a look at this once we know which model you’re using.

      Yeah that’s the model I’m using.

      It seems like sometimes it just tries to identify random noises as words, but other times I'm just talking continuously and then when the transcription finishes it'll have added random words in between.

        @Adrian Pauly We’ve added “Groq Whisper Large v3” in the latest version. You can try that instead of “Turbo” model. This model should boost the accuracy even more, with almost no hit to the latency.

          Groq Whisper Large immediately increased the accuracy. It’s slightly slower but still good and the increased accuracy makes it worth it. Thank you!
