This technology supports a wide range of accents and languages, making it suitable for global applications. The Flow API offers high accuracy and responsiveness, delivering real-time transcription with less than one second of latency.

The service is capable of processing large volumes of audio data each month, which contributes to its high transcription accuracy. It covers over 50 languages, making it an ideal solution for businesses operating on an international scale.

Key features of the Speechmatics ASR include speaker diarization, enabling the API to differentiate between multiple speakers during conversations, and customizable vocabulary options for specific applications. The API is hosted on Speechmatics' secure infrastructure, ensuring reliability for enterprise-level solutions.

In addition to the Flow API, Speechmatics also offers batch transcription services, suitable for both live and pre-recorded media. With capabilities for speaker identification and integration via API, the transcription service adapts to various use cases, from live events to subtitling.

Notably, collaborations such as with Red Bee Media during the 2016 Rio Paralympics highlight Speechmatics' commitment to accessibility, integrating ASR technology to enhance subtitling solutions for diverse audiences, including those with hearing impairments. Their approach to mitigating AI bias further strengthens their ability to deliver inclusive and accurate transcription services.
