Transcript

You've heard me talk about AssemblyAI and their insanely accurate voice AI models, but they just ship something big. Universal three Pro is a first of its kind class of speech language model that lets you prompt speech recognition with your own domain context and vocabulary, instead of fixing transcripts and post processing. It's more flexible than traditional ASR and more deterministic than LLMs, so you get accurate output at the source and can capture the emotion behind human speech that transcripts often miss, all without custom models or post processing hacks. And to celebrate the launch, they're making it free to try for all of February. If you're building anything with voice, this one's worth a look. Head to assemblyai.com slash free offer to check it out.
