10. I tested it with AI-generated English songs and found the transcriptions highly accurate. However, when I tested it with Chinese songs, there were some inaccuracies in the transcription. This could be because the Chinese language, with its tonal nature and complex syllable structures, presents a greater challenge for AI speech recognition compared to English.
