Pro includes access to premium cloud transcription services that offer higher accuracy than local models, especially for accented speech, technical jargon, and noisy environments.

Language Support
Hyprnote checks if your selected provider supports your configured languages. If there's a mismatch, you'll see a warning with suggestions for compatible providers. Configure your languages in Settings > Language & Vocabulary.
When to Use Cloud vs Local
Use cloud transcription when you need maximum accuracy and have internet access. Use local transcription (Whisper models) when privacy is paramount or you're offline. Local models support 50+ languages and run entirely on your device.
