A free, on-device dictation tool for English speakers in Israel, with an Android keyboard and desktop apps for Ubuntu and Windows.
- For
- English speakers in Israel using Hebrew terms
- Worth noticing
- The homepage says Sabich spelled 73 of 100 Hebrew words correctly on the same 422-recording test where stock Parakeet spelled 28 correctly.
Field notes
The homepage separates three fine-tunes: Sabich adds Hebrew terms plus technical vocabulary and is recommended; Jachnun focuses on Hebrew words; Shakshuka is described as streaming. Its comparison also reports 1.2% stock versus 1.3% Sabich word error on LibriSpeech, suggesting English performance stayed close in that test. The page links to benchmark details, model cards, formats, a lexicon, installation instructions, and a way to contribute recordings. The reported model gaps are small and based on one test round.
