Summary
According to a post on X by @getprivt, Privt's Mac app now transcribes Korean, Japanese and Chinese for dictation into any app and for meeting notes. The transcription runs NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 speech model on the Mac's Neural Engine, so the post says audio never leaves the device. Privt reports that it measured 8.89% of Korean characters wrong on Google's FLEURS test set. The post also says its 25 European languages are moving to Parakeet Ultra, a retrained version of Parakeet v3.

Why it matters
Mac users who dictate or take meeting notes in these languages could get transcription that stays on their own machine, according to the post. Businesses handling meeting audio may find this relevant to privacy planning. The accuracy figures are Privt's own measurements, so independent benchmarks and the full rollout details are worth watching.
