When NOT to use whishper
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- When real-time transcription accuracy outweighs local processing needs, because while faster on CPU, it may not offer the same level of immediate precision as cloud-based solutions.
- If your project is resource-constrained, especially in terms of development time and effort required for setup since Whishper involves a few manual steps to start using.
- When direct audio input from web browsers is necessary because this feature is pending implementation.
