Onko tällä viikolla jossain päin maata #syysloma?
Kuha olen tässä tällä viikolla tuuminut, kun #VanhaPorvoo ssa on näkynyt päiväsaikaan aika paljon lapsia & nuoria, eikä silein luokkaretkihenkisesti isoina ryhminä parin aikuisen kera, vaan silein perhehenkisesti.

"Susi ei ole hallinnollinen numero, harrastusväline tai resurssi, vaan tunteva ja älykäs yksilö, jolla on kiistaton itseisarvo. [...] Suden laillisen tappamisen normalisointi viestii eläimen vähäisestä arvosta ja saattaa siten jopa lisätä jo nykyisellään runsasta laitonta salametsästystä. Kun Suomen ihmispopulaatio on 5,6 miljoonaa ja susia on vain muutama sata, väite suden aiheuttamasta ”määrällisestä ongelmasta” on absurdi."

A República Checa criminaliza criticar as #elites 😵
Desde 1 de Janeiro, podes ir para a #prisão na #Chéquia se incitares à luta de classes ou se fizeres propaganda sobre o #comunismo, como se fosse a mesma coisa que defender o #nazismo. Isto é efetivamente uma forma indireta de normalizar o #fascismo. E direta de criminalizar críticas às elites. E ninguém está a falar sobre isto!!!

I Wanted Podcast Transcriptions. iOS 26 Delivered (and Nearly Melted My Phone).
Testing iOS 26’s on-device speech recognition: faster than realtime, but your phone might disagree
Apple’s iOS 26 introduced
SpeechTranscriber– a promise of on-device, private, offline podcast transcription. No cloud, no subscription, just pure silicon magic. I built it into my RSS reader app. Here’s what actually happened.The Setup
- Device: iPhone 17 Pro Max (Orange, if you’re curious)
- iOS Version: 26.2
- Test Episodes:
- The Talk Show #436 (95 minutes)
- Upgrade #594 (106 minutes)
- ATP #668 (114 minutes)
- ATP #669 (122 minutes)
The Good News: It’s Actually Fast
EpisodeDurationTranscription TimeRealtime FactorWordsWords/secTalk Show #4361h 35m15m 22s6.2x17,30318.8Upgrade #5941h 46m20m 4s5.3x19,97516.6ATP #6681h 54m24m 49s4.6x23,89216.04.6x to 6.2x faster than realtime. Nearly 2-hour podcasts transcribed in under 25 minutes. The Neural Engine absolutely crushes this.
The Pipeline Breakdown
The transcription happens in two phases (example from Upgrade #594):
- Audio Analysis: 2m 2s
- Initial pass through the audio file
- Roughly 1 second of analysis per minute of audio
- Results Collection: 18m 0s
- Iterating through ~1,288 speech segments
- Each segment yields transcribed text
The Bad News: Thermal Throttling Is Real
During my first test, I made a critical mistake: running two transcriptions simultaneously while charging.
The result? My phone got noticeably hot. Battery optimization warnings appeared. And performance dropped dramatically:
ConditionRealtime FactorPerformance HitSingle transcription4.6x – 6.2xBaselineTwo parallel transcriptions2.7x46% slowerThe logs showed alternating progress updates as iOS juggled both workloads:
🎙️ 📝 Progress: 34% - 88 segments // Transcription A 🎙️ 📝 Progress: 44% - 98 segments // Transcription B 🎙️ 📝 Progress: 37% - 98 segments // Transcription AThe Neural Engine throttles hard when thermals get bad. When I ran a single transcription without charging, the ETA stayed consistent and completed on schedule.
The Ugly: iOS Kills Background Tasks
Even with
BGTaskScheduler, iOS terminated my background transcription:🎙️ Background transcription task triggered by iOS ⏱️ Background transcription task expired (iOS terminated it)For long podcasts, you need to keep the app in foreground. iOS’s aggressive app suspension doesn’t play nice with hour-long ML workloads.
AI Chapter Generation: The Real Win
Here’s where it gets interesting. Once you have a transcript, generating AI chapters is blazingly fast.
Note: ATP, Talk Show, and Upgrade already include chapters via ID3 tags – this is an experiment to see what on-device AI can generate. But Planet Money doesn’t have chapters, making it a real use case where AI generation adds genuine value.
And we’re not alone in this approach. As Mike Hurley and Jason Snell discussed on Upgrade #594, Apple is doing exactly this in iOS 26.2’s Podcasts app:
“One of the most interesting things to me is the changes in the podcast app in 26.2… AI generated chapters for podcasts that do not support them… They are creating their own chapters based on the topics.”
Jason nailed the insight: “The transcripts [are] a feature that unlocks a lot of other features, because now they kind of understand the content of the podcast.”
That’s exactly what we’re doing here – using on-device transcription as a foundation for AI-powered chapter generation:
EpisodeTranscript SizeChapters GeneratedTimeATP #669143,603 chars (~26,387 words)27 chapters2m 1sTalk Show #436~17,303 words13 chapters1m 40sThe AI identified topic changes, extracted key phrases for timestamps, and generated descriptive chapter titles – all in under 2 minutes for multi-hour podcasts.
Sample generated chapters:
📍 0:00-2:18: Snowfall in Richmond 📍 42:43-49:11: Intel-Apple Chip Collaboration Speculations 📍 62:46-65:00: Executive Transitions at Apple 📍 95:56-105:04: Core Values and Apple's EvolutionThe Code
Using iOS 26’s
SpeechTranscriberis surprisingly clean:@available(iOS 26.0, *) func transcribe(fileURL: URL) async throws -> String { let locale = try await findSupportedLocale(preferring: "en") let transcriber = SpeechTranscriber(locale: locale, preset: .transcription) let analyzer = SpeechAnalyzer(modules: [transcriber]) let audioFile = try AVAudioFile(forReading: fileURL) if let lastSample = try await analyzer.analyzeSequence(from: audioFile) { try await analyzer.finalizeAndFinish(through: lastSample) } var transcription = "" for try await result in transcriber.results { if result.isFinal { transcription += String(result.text.characters) + " " } } return transcription }Fast vs Accurate Mode: A Surprising Finding
iOS 26 offers two main transcription presets:
.transcription– Standard accurate mode.progressiveTranscription– “Fast” mode with progressive results
I assumed Fast mode would be… faster. The results were mixed.
EpisodeModeConditionRealtime FactorWords/secTalk Show #436AccurateSolo, cold6.2x18.8Upgrade #594AccurateSolo5.3x16.6ATP #668AccurateSolo4.6x16.0Planet MoneyFastSolo3.8x12.2Planet MoneyAccurateSolo, warm3.5x11.4On the same 31-minute episode, Fast mode (3.8x) was slightly faster than Accurate (3.5x). But both were significantly slower than the longer episode tests – likely due to residual heat from previous runs.
The “progressive” preset appears optimized for live/streaming transcription. For batch processing of pre-recorded files, results are similar when thermals are equivalent.
Lesson: Don’t assume “fast” means faster for your use case. Profile both.
Recommendations
- Use
.transcriptionfor downloaded files – It’s actually faster for batch processing - Don’t charge while transcribing – Thermal throttling is real
- One transcription at a time – The Neural Engine doesn’t parallelize well
- Keep the app in foreground – iOS will kill background ML tasks
- Expect ~5x realtime – About 12-13 minutes per hour of audio under ideal conditions
The Verdict
iOS 26’s on-device transcription is genuinely impressive:
- Privacy: Audio never leaves your device
- Speed: 5x faster than realtime (when not throttled)
- Quality: Surprisingly accurate for conversational podcasts
- Offline: Once the model is downloaded, no internet required
The main gotchas are thermal management and iOS’s background task limitations. But for a first-generation on-device transcription API? Apple’s Neural Engine delivers.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have 26,387 words of ATP to search through.
Tested on iPhone 17 Pro Max running iOS 26.x. Your mileage may vary on older devices.

Vienas iš baimės padarinių yra autoriteto pripažinimas žmogiškųjų reikalų srityje. Autoritetas atsiranda dėl mūsų noro būti teisus, jaustis saugiai, patogiai, neturėti sąmoningų konfliktų ar neramumų, bet niekas, kas kyla iš baimės, negali padėti mums suprasti savo problemų, net jei baimė gali pasireikšti pagarba ir paklusnumu vadinamiesiems išminčiams. Išmintingieji neturi autoriteto, o tie, kurie turi autoritetą, nėra išmintingi. Baimė, kokia bebūtų jos forma, trukdo suprasti save ir savo santykį su visais dalykais. Autoriteto sekimas yra intelekto neigimas. Priimti autoritetą reiškia paklusti dominavimui, pavergti save individui, grupei ar ideologijai, nesvarbu, religinei ar politinei; ir šis savęs pavergimas autoritetui yra ne tik intelekto, bet ir individualios laisvės neigimas.
