We’ve made improvements to how utterances are handled during dual-channel transcription. In particular, the transcription service now has elevated sensitivity when detecting utterances, leading to improved utterance insertions when there is overlapping speech on the two channels.

We’ve fixed a temporary issue in which users with low account balances would occasionally be rate-limited to a value less than 30 when using LeMUR.

We’ve fixed an edge-case bug in our async API, leading to a significant reduction in errors that say File does not appear to contain audio. Users can expect to see an immediate reduction in this type of error. If this error does occur, users should retry their requests given that retries are generally successful.
We’ve made improvements to our transcription service autoscaling, leading to improved turnaround times for requests that use Word Boost when there is a spike in requests to our API.

The improvements fix a bug in which these models would sometimes delineate sentences on titles that end in periods like Dr. and Mrs..
We have fixed an issue in which transcriptions of very long files (8h+) with disfluencies enabled would error out.

We have increased the memory of our transcoding service workers, leading to a significant reduction in errors that say File does not appear to contain audio.
