Cockatoo publishes accuracy tests for 30 languages, run on the same public benchmark researchers use to compare transcription engines, plus real-world recordings with background noise and accents.
See The Test ResultsThe published benchmarks page shows accuracy tests for 30 languages run on the same public test set researchers use to compare transcription engines (a benchmark called FLEURS), plus real-world recordings with background noise and accents.
Every test is available on the benchmarks page, so you can see exactly how the engine performs in your language before you upload a single file.
Cockatoo publishes the actual test results, language by language. You verify performance yourself instead of trusting a marketing number.
Cockatoo publishes per-language accuracy results for 30 languages against competitors, run on the standard public benchmark researchers use plus real-world recordings with background noise and accents.
Methodology and public-domain audio examples are included.
| Mode | Usage |
|---|---|
| Default | Practically unlimited |
| Highest accuracy | Weekly budget |
The highest-accuracy modes have a weekly usage budget shown in your Settings.
When the budget is hit, the unlimited modes stay available. You keep transcribing without interruption.
Our users appreciate accuracy on difficult accents, raw speed, and ease of use.
Real-world feedback shows Cockatoo handles the audio that trips up other tools: heavy regional dialects, low-quality recordings, background noise.
Relative to recording length
Cockatoo transcribes at up to 120x real-time in fastest mode. A one-hour audio file becomes a finished transcript in about 30 seconds.
V4-Thinking runs around 20x real-time. You get the transcript fast no matter which mode you choose.
Cockatoo supports mixed-language audio files. Automatic language detection runs before transcription, or you can override the language per file.
Right-to-left languages display correctly in the transcript. You get accurate output no matter which languages appear in your recording.
One affordable tool for both halves of the job: get the words out of the audio, then get them into another language.
DeepL translates text but does not transcribe.
Cockatoo covers both transcription and document translation, adds 2 TB storage and transfers, an iOS app and an AI Notes editor, and leads on accuracy rather than volume.
TurboScribe focuses on transcription volume. Cockatoo bundles storage, transfer, and translation in one tool.
