Parakeet is significantly more accurate and faster than Whisper if it supports your language.

Parakeet supports japanese now, but I cant find a version ported to apple silicone yet.

Right, and if you're on MacOS you can use it for free with Hex: https://github.com/kitlangton/Hex

I have been using Parakeet with MacWhisper's hold-to-talk on a MacBook Neo and it's been awesome.
