I’d like to see the source that says Dragon’s WER in the 90s was 3-5%. I used Dragon in the 2000s and it just wasn’t comparable to the current state of the art.
whisper.cpp is an opensource implementation, although I’m not certain exactly how open.
when you’re providing context rather than instructions the tendency for a model to hallucinate or run off on a tangent is minimal, because the context you’re providing has it’s own cohesion.

https://dragon-medical-transcription.com/history_speech_recognition.html, for example. a lot of adverts and awards were given to it (admittedly awards like PC Mag that were probably paid advertising… but that’s why I went with Open AI’s assessment on whisper at 2%.) Dragon was boasting 99% accuracy after (admittedly months) of training; and it frequently reached it. there were some gotchas in that- the months-long training was a big one. The other was that you frequently had to slow down and be careful to enunciate that you don’t have to do with modern systems (including the MS versions of Dragon- they bought it out at some point)

It’s on the MIT license, if that helps. I take issue with anything OpenAI is involved in. for oh-so-many reasons.
