Really? This is the opposite of my experience with (distil-)whisper - I use it to generate subtitles for stuff like podcasts and was stunned at first by how high-quality the results are. I typically use distil-whisper/distil-large-v3, locally. Was it among the models you tried?
I unfortunately don't know the specific names of the models, I will comment additionally if I will not forget to ask people who spun up the models themselves.
The difference might be that live vs recorded stuff, I don't know.
