Fast and reliable way to transcribe audio to text with high accuracy
If you're just disabling Secure Boot temporarily to troubleshoot or speed up your boot time, it’s usually pretty safe — especially if you’re not doing anything super sensitive or enterprise-level. Secure Boot is mainly about making sure your system boots only trusted OS loaders, so turning it off can expose you to some risks if you’re in a compromised environment or if malware tries to sneak in during startup.
But for just transcribing audio to text with high accuracy, you're probably not doing anything that would seriously threaten your system’s security. Just keep in mind:
- Disabling Secure Boot can make your system a bit more vulnerable if you’re surfing shady websites or installing untrusted software.
- When you’re done troubleshooting or speed-up, you can always turn Secure Boot back on.
About transcribing audio to text. I’ve turned Secure Boot off a few times just to do quick troubleshooting. The main thing I noticed is that it’s a quick fix for weird boot delays or EFI glitches, but it’s not something you wanna leave off forever if you’re worried about security.
