Unique: Implements streaming via sliding-window inference on the full encoder-decoder model without requiring a separate streaming-optimized architecture. Uses overlapping chunks (30s windows with 5s overlap) and context stitching to maintain transcript coherence while processing audio incrementally.

vs others: Simpler to implement than streaming-specific models (e.g., Conformer-based streaming ASR) because it reuses the standard Whisper architecture; however, introduces higher latency (2-5s) and lower accuracy (1-3% degradation) compared to true streaming models optimized for low-latency inference.
