High accuracy tier

Script and dialects

German output, written the right way

German is one of the strongest languages for speech recognition. Standard High German (Hochdeutsch) transcribes excellently, and Austrian and Swiss Standard German are handled well. Strong regional dialects such as Bavarian or Swiss German speech are harder, and the model keeps the ß and umlauts intact.
