Universal-2 achieves substantial improvements over Universal-1 by addressing key last-mile challenges in contemporary Speech-to-Text to deliver highly accurate and readable transcripts for best-in-class results.

All Research

  • Universal-1: Robust and accurate multilingual speech-to-text

    We are excited to introduce Universal-1, our latest and most powerful speech recognition model. Trained on over 12.5 million hours of multilingual audio data, Universal-1 achieves best-in-class speech-to-text accuracy across four major languages: English, Spanish, French, and German.

  • Introducing Conformer-2

    We're introducing Conformer-2, our latest AI model for automatic speech recognition. Conformer-2 is trained on 1.1M hours of English audio data, extending Conformer-1 to provide improvements on proper nouns, alphanumerics, and robustness to noise.

  • Light-weight probing of unsupervised representations for Reinforcement Learning

    An evaluation protocol for unsupervised RL representations uses two linear probing tasks to predict rewards and expert actions, reducing computational cost and improving RL training efficiency.

  • Conformer-1: A robust speech recognition model trained on 650K hours of data

    We're introducing Conformer-1, a state-of-the-art speech recognition model trained on 650K hours of audio data that achieves near human-level performance and robustness across a variety of data.
