A native-reviewed benchmark of Japanese transcription tools, using the same four real recordings to compare Notta, TurboScribe, Sonix, Otter.ai, and JotMe.

Why it surfaced

This is more useful than a feature-list roundup: the lab records concrete failures, including Sonix turning 橋の端で箸 into 橋の橋で橋 and Otter changing ¥12,800 into 12,008百円. Its early results are limited but reproducible, with every tool tested against the same audio and every important number, name, and kanji choice checked by a native Japanese reviewer.
