Powering incredible companies

1

New and Improved API Documentation

  • Launched the new AssemblyAI Docs, with more complete documentation and an easy-to-navigate interface so developers can effectively use and integrate with our API. Click here to view the new and improved documentation.

  • Added two new fields to the FinalTranscript response for Real-time Transcriptions. The punctuated key is a Boolean value indicating if punctuation was successful. The text_formatted key is a Boolean value indicating if Inverse Text Normalization (ITN) was successful.

Inverse Text Normalization Added to Real-Time, Word Boost Accuracy Improved

  • Inverse Text Normalization (ITN) added for our /v2/realtime and /v2/stream endpoints. ITN improves formatting of entities like numbers, dates, and proper nouns in the transcription text.

  • Improved accuracy for Custom Vocabulary (aka, Word Boosts) with the Real-Time transcription API.

  • Fixed an edge case that would sometimes cause transcription errors when disfluencies was set to true and no words were identified in the audio file.

Entity Detection Released, Improved Filler Word Detection, Usage Alerts

  • v1 release of Entity Detection - automatically detects a wide range of entities like person and company names, emails, addresses, dates, locations, events, and more.
  • To include Entity Detection in your transcript, set entity_detection to true in your POST request to /v2/transcript.
  • When your transcript is complete, you will see an entities key towards the bottom of the JSON response containing the entities detected, as shown here:
  • Read more about Entity Detection in our official documentation.
  • Usage Alert feature added, allowing customers to set a monthly usage threshold on their account along with a list of email addresses to be notified when that monthly threshold has been exceeded. This feature can be enabled by clicking “Set up alerts” on the “Developers” tab in the Dashboard.
  • When Content Safety is enabled, a summary of the severity scores detected will now be returned in the API response under the severity_score_summary nested inside of the content_safety_labels  key, as shown below.

  • Improved Filler Word (aka, disfluencies) detection by ~25%.

  • Fixed a bug in Auto Chapters that would occasionally add an extra space between sentences for headlines and summaries.
