Half an hour of clean audio is not a “quick upload.”
TL;DR
- Long sessions punish cloud workflows because upload time scales with audio length.
- On-device streaming stays responsive by working in fixed windows.
- Finalization is bounded: when you stop, only the last window needs finishing.
Uploading long, high‑quality audio takes time, especially on variable wifi. Many cloud tools avoid heavy compression to protect accuracy, which increases upload size.
Voice Type stays on‑device, streams continuously, and when you stop, finishes only the last ~30s window (≈2–3s on an M1). That’s why long sessions feel snappy in practice.
