+Also, don't forget to add the `-DGGML_USE_ACCELERATE` compiler flag for `ggml.c` in Build Phases.
 This can significantly improve the performance of the transcription:

 In this project, it also added `-O3 -DNDEBUG` to `Other C Flags`, but adding flags to app proj is not ideal in real world (applies to all C/C++ files), consider splitting xcodeproj in workspace in your own project.
