Before you start transcribing, it's important to understand what each transcription method offers:

- **WhisperX**: Selected by default. This method runs locally on your machine and can run on CPUs and CUDA GPUs, although it performs better on the latter. The transcriptions generated by **WhisperX** are generally **much more** accurate than those generated by the **Google API**, although this may vary depending on the [model size](#model-size) and [computation type](#compute-type) selected. In addition, **WhisperX** offers a wider range of features, including subtitle generation and translation into any other supported language. It's fast, especially when transcribing large files, and has no usage restrictions while remaining completely free.

- **Google Speech-To-Text API** (hereafter referred to as **Google API**): **Audiotext** sends the audio to the remote **Google API** to get the transcription. It doesn't punctuate sentences, and the quality of the resulting transcriptions often requires manual adjustment due to lower quality compared to **WhisperX**. In its free tier, usage is limited to 60 minutes per month, but this limit can be extended by adding an [API key](#api-key). Unlike **WhisperX**, the **Google API** is much less demanding on hardware resources because the transcription process is handled entirely on remote servers.
