About German Transcription
German is spoken by 135M+ people worldwide, primarily in Germany, Austria, Switzerland. German compound words and long noun phrases create unusual token boundaries for STT. Whisper achieves approximately 4–6 % WER on standard German. Swiss German and Austrian dialects have notably higher error rates.
Writing system: German uses the Latin alphabet plus four special characters: ä, ö, ü (umlauts) and ß (eszett). Compound nouns combining multiple words into one token, like 'Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung', are grammatically standard and routine.
