We've deployed changes which now permit variable-bitrate video files to be submitted to our API.
We've fixed a recent bug in which audio files with a large amount of silence at the beginning of the file would fail to transcribe.

We have added two new keys to the LeMUR response, input_tokens and output_tokens, which can help users track usage.
We've implemented a new fallback system to further boost the reliability of LeMUR.
We have addressed an edge case issue affecting LeMUR and certain XML tags. In particular, when LeMUR responds with a <question> XML tag, it will now always close it with a </question> tag rather than erroneous tags which would sometimes be returned (e.g. </answer>).

We've improved our PII Text Redaction and Entity Detection models, yielding more accurate detection and removal of PII and other entities from transcripts.
We've added 16 new entities, including vehicle_id and account_number, and updated 4 of our existing entities. Users may need to update to the latest version of our SDKs to use these new entities.
We've added PII Text Redaction and Entity Detection support in 4 new languages:
PII Text Redaction and Entity Detection now support a total of 47 languages between our Best and Nano tiers.

Users can now set up billing alerts in their user portals. Billing alerts notify you when your monthly spend or account balance reaches a threshold.
To set up a billing alert, go to the billing page of your portal, and click Set up a new alert under the Your alerts widget:
You can then set up an alert by specifying whether to alert on monthly spend or account balance, as well as the specific threshold at which to send an alert.

Universal-1, our most powerful and accurate multilingual Speech-to-Text model, is now available in German.
No special action is needed to utilize Universal-1 on German audio - all requests sent to our /v2/transcript endpoint with German audio files will now use Universal-1 by default. Learn more about how to integrate Universal-1 into your apps in our Getting Started guides.
