AssemblyAI

In the last few years we've seen an explosion of audio data available online. This coupled with advances in AI technology have allowed organizations to unlock the value of voice data in ways that were previously impossible. As a result, we've seen organizations build new products, services, and capabilities that serve millions of people around the world. Today, we’re announcing Universal-1, our most powerful and accurate model to date, trained on 12.5M hours of multilingual audio data to help power the next generation of Speech AI products and features. Some key stats on Universal-1: • 72% preferred to our most recent model Conformer-2 in human evals • 71% better speaker count estimation and 14% better word timestamp estimation compared to our prior models • Up to 30% fewer hallucinations than seq2seq models like Whisper • Just 38 seconds to process 1 hour of audio Learn more about Universal-1 on our blog: https://lnkd.in/e5inQ-x9

💡 New Tutorial 💡 Are you looking to optimize your Python and Flask applications by dynamically swapping AI models based on user context? Discover how you can switch between AssemblyAI's state-of-the-art Speech-to-Text models, based on application contexts like user email domain, device, zip code, and more. Our Universal-1 model introduced a dual-class tier system, allowing developers to choose between the highest accuracy “Best” tier and the cost-effective “Nano” tier. This tutorial demonstrates how to leverage these tiers with LaunchDarkly for optimal app performance. Take your app development to the next level and check out the tutorial in the below LaunchDarkly post 👇 #AI #MachineLearning #Python #Flask #LaunchDarkly #AssemblyAI #TechTutorial #AppDevelopment

🤖 With the latest developments in generative AI, it is trivial to create speech in a language of your choice. You can generate voice in any manner of speaking you choose. The voice can sound happy, sad, angry or excited. Previously it was difficult to generate speech in your own voice—until now. With their new Professional Voice Cloning feature, ElevenLabs makes it possible and easily accessible. In this tutorial, learn how to build a web-based voice-to-voice cloning app using Gradio. The technologies used in this app are: 1. Gradio - for the interface 2. AssemblyAI - for transcription 3. Python translate module - for translation of text 4. Elevenlabs - for reading translated text in your own voice 👩💻 You can find the code for the simple and complex apps in this repo: https://lnkd.in/eM8T3_EH Watch the full video on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eXWUHc9C
