  • They cannot be compared on speed. NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe was tested on whole recordings rather than a live stream, so its speed is not measured.

  • NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe makes fewer errors on real conversations. NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe was tested on whole recordings rather than a live stream, so its speed is not measured. A voice agent cannot reply until the final transcript arrives, and the Ocular recordings are real conversations.

  • NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe was tested on whole recordings rather than a live stream, so whether it streams partial text was not measured. GPT-4o Transcribe returns no text until the speaker stops.
