High-accuracy speech recognition for challenging audio conditions.

Audio8 · ASR · 3B

September 10, 2026

Audio8 ASR 3B is the model built for accuracy within the Audio8 ASR product line, designed for multilingual transcriptions, difficult audio environments and long-form transcription workloads.

Speech recognition is not the same in every situation. Sometimes the gist is enough; sometimes not a single word can be missed. Audio8 ASR 3B reserves the largest parameter budget in the family for the hardest audio: meeting records, interviews, media subtitles and multilingual speech, where the cost of an error is high.

Limitations and responsible usage

Automatic transcription may be affected by noise, accents, overlapping speech, specialist terms and audio quality; it should not be treated as a verified record. Medical, legal, financial and other high-risk uses require human review. The deployer is ultimately responsible for the final output.

Obtain consent before processing personal voices, conversations or sensitive information, and comply with applicable law such as GDPR. Encrypt audio and text, control access to it, and keep it only as long as necessary.
