Whisper models have a very good WER (word error ratio) for languages like Spanish, English, French… if you use the english-only models it also improves. Check out this page on the docs:

Correct me if I’m wrong but, I think Brave Ads are opt-in. I have brave installed (although I use Librewolf as my main browser) and I’ve never seen an ad, you just need to disable them from the settings. Ads are just for those who want to earn BAT (the weird crypto token) by seeing ads.

Whishper uses faster-whisper in the backend.
Simply put, it is a complete UI for Faster-Whisper with extra features like transcription translation, edition, download options, etc…
