New Features & Updates

List Historical Transcripts

  • Developers can get a list of their historical transcriptions. This list can be filtered by status and date. This new endpoint will allow developers to see if they have any queued, processing, or throttled transcriptions.

Pre-Formatted Paragraphs

  • Developers can now get pre-formatted paragraphs by calling our new paragraphs endpoint! The model will attempt to semantically break the transcript up into paragraphs of five sentences or less.

You can explore each feature further in our Docs:

Topic Detection Response Improvements

  • Now each topic will include timestamps for each segment of classified text. We have also added a new summary key that will contain the confidence of all unique topics detected throughout the entire transcript.

  • We have made improvements to our Speaker Diarization Model that increases accuracy over short and long transcripts.

General Improvements

  • We have made a major update to our Speaker Diarization Model that will improve results both in speed and accuracy. This update introduces the UNK speaker label for when a speaker for a word/phrase is unknown. This label is in place to prevent combining the unknown speaker with the dominant speaker, giving the developer more insight into who may or may not be speaking!

Our Content Safety Model has been trained on higher-quality data and now supports the following new labels:

  • Company Financials: can detect when things like stock prices or revenue are discussed.
  • Natural Disasters: in the past, we used the label Accidents to cover natural disasters and man-made accidents like plane crashes. Now Natural Disasters covers things like hurricanes, and Accidents covers Man-Made Accidents like plane crashes.
