By band, the scored Greek models are 8 Good, 2 Usable, 2 Limited and 1 Not recommended (Excellent is chrF++ 60 or more, Good 45 to 60, Usable 30 to 45, Limited 15 to 30). A score is a 48-sentence screening of news and encyclopedia text, not a measure of accuracy, and a difference of a point or two is noise. How we measured.

Speech-to-text. Whisper's tokenizer lists Greek as one of its languages, so all 12 multilingual Whisper-based models here can transcribe it: see the speech models. Accuracy differs a lot between languages and model sizes, and this site has not measured speech accuracy.

Each model page has a short snippet to download and run the model yourself, its licence and attribution text, and its score where there is one. Pick the best scored model for your direction, then try it on a few sentences of your own text: a screening score is a starting point, not a guarantee.
