This problem is legitimately hard and needs high cognitive abilities. Even the biggest generalist models struggle with memes and lingo salad that sound immediately intuitive for an out-of-the-loop human, and I'm talking about text comprehension. Modern models are optimized for decision making and are worse in that than old ones optimized for creative writing, but those also struggled.

You should probably not expect a small STT model like Voxtral or Parakeet to do any better, unless it's laser focused on that area in particular and sucks in everything else.
