What’s the difference?

On-device

On-device speech recognition works on your device.

It is usually:

  • faster
  • more private
  • available without internet

Cloud

Cloud speech recognition uses an internet connection.

It may be:

  • more accurate
  • better for some accents, words, or languages
  • slightly slower depending on your connection

Cloud speech recognition requires internet to work properly.

Which one should I use?

Start with On-device if it is working well for you.

Try Cloud if Linus is having trouble picking up your lines or if speech recognition feels less accurate than expected.
