中文（简体）— Chinese, Simplified

Preliminary report · last updated 18 July 2026

What works today

• Simplified Chinese dictation runs fully on-device through the SenseVoice engine, with native punctuation — no cloud, same privacy promise as English.
• Mixed Chinese-and-English dictation in one breath is supported — the engine auto-detects both.
• Traditional Chinese (Taiwan / Hong Kong standards) and Cantonese are separate modes with their own character standards.

Early accuracy signal

In controlled smoke tests on studio-quality synthetic Mandarin, character accuracy measured 100%, with AI formatting producing content-identical output. This is an encouraging early signal, not the finished benchmark: the full report scores real native-speaker recordings across accents and speeds, verified by native reviewers.

Scoring rules for this report

• Simplified output is scored against Simplified-native reference text only — never converted from Traditional sources (conversion hides real errors).
• Accuracy is measured per character; formatting is scored separately (punctuation, numbers, mixed-language passages).
• Comparisons with other dictation apps replay the same audio through each app's real pipeline.

The complete Chinese report — real speakers, formatting standards, and app-to-app comparisons — is in progress and will replace this page.
