Description
Ink 2 represents Cartesia's most advanced and precise streaming speech-to-text model, designed specifically for production voice agents, boasting the lowest word error rate and superior turn detection of any available streaming STT. This model excels in accurately transcribing structured data types like phone numbers, dates, and email addresses on the first attempt, while intuitively recognizing when a speaker begins and ends their speech, eliminating the need for a separate voice activity detection mechanism. Integrated turn detection allows voice agents to respond to events seamlessly, rather than sifting through raw transcript segments. Ink 2 generates a comprehensive array of turn events, providing agents with definitive cues regarding when to listen, interrupt, contemplate, prepare to respond, retract an untimely reply, or engage in conversation. Additionally, the transcript retains a cumulative nature within each turn, ensuring that every update presents the complete text transcribed up to that point rather than just the incremental changes, and the emitted text is considered final the moment it is sent. This innovative design enhances the interaction quality between voice agents and users, making conversations smoother and more effective.
Description
Inworld Realtime STT is a streaming API for speech-to-text that captures more than just spoken words. This innovative tool merges low-latency speech recognition with voice profiling capabilities, allowing it to analyze emotions, vocal style, accent, age, and pitch from raw audio inputs, which enhances the responsiveness and expressiveness of downstream LLMs and TTS systems. Developers have the flexibility to stream audio in real time, transcribe entire files, or gather voice profile signals via a single, comprehensive API. The system features real-time bidirectional streaming over WebSocket, synchronous transcription for complete audio files, and offers voice profile signals for each streaming segment, all while supporting multiple providers through one model ID. Each audio segment provides a dynamic profile of the speaker, complete with confidence scores, equipping LLMs with structured context that indicates the emotional state of the user, such as whether they sound sad, frustrated, soft-spoken, high-pitched, or calm. This capability allows for a more nuanced interaction, enriching the user experience by adapting responses to the speaker’s emotional tone and vocal characteristics.
