> latency, which is the most important factor for STT apps.
Perhaps latency is more important than accuracy for a real time translation app (I actually disagree with this - imagine e.g. the hilarity when requesting "a new display" being translated as "a nudist play"), but certainly not for all applications. My pet app transcribes personal voice notes to self, it could run all night.
I agree. For my use case, I chose to prioritize latency over accuracy, but it's always difficult to find the right balance between the two. There is no easy answer.
