Speech Recognition AI

Most accurate speech recognition AI

We invented a new AI learning algorithm to recognize speech at near human level of accuracy and robustness in real-world environments. Compared to other providers, Soniox speech recognition AI is in a league of its own.

Complete transcription result

Soniox returns a complete transcription result including the words being recognized, timestamps, confidence scores and speaker tags.

In streaming speech recognition, Soniox returns back "interim results" containing final words and non-final words (can change in the future) as more audio is transcribed.

{
text: "YouTube";
start_ms: 1450;
duration_ms: 350;
is_final: true;
speaker: 1;
confidence: 0.98;
}

Speech customization

We invented a novel procedure that effectively and on-the-fly customizes speech recognition AI to the specified context. Simply provide a list of words and phrases and Soniox will automatically recognize them when spoken in audio.

You can also re-format the words or phrases to your liking. For example, "twenty three and me => 23andMe".

We also support storing the speech customizations in our cloud, i.e. create a speech customization once and then use it many times on different audios.

# Create speech context on-the-fly.
speech_context = SpeechContext(
entries=[
SpeechContextEntry(
phrases=["twenty three and me => 23andMe"],
boost=10,
)
]
)

# Pass speech context to transcribe API call.
result = transcribe_file_short(
"../test_data/youtube_23andme.flac",
client,
speech_context=speech_context,
)

Dictation mode

Dictation mode enables you to use voice to type and format text. When a dictation command is recognized, it is mapped to a corresponding symbol. For example, the word "period" would appear on the transcript as "." and "dollar sign" as "$".

# Input:
This is cool period new line I am voice typing

# Output:
This is cool . [NEW_LINE] I am voice typing

Content moderation

Profanity filter

Detects and censors profane words and phrases as audio is being transcribed. All letters except the first are masked. For example, "f***".

Explore docs

Custom content moderation

Define any inappropriate word or phrase to moderate content. The defined words and phrases will be then automatically masked except for the first letter.

Domain specific models

Medical domain model

We offer a medical domain model for recognition of words that are common in the medical settings, such as diagnoses, medications, symptoms, treatments, diseases and anatomical parts.

Explore docs

IVR domain model

We offer an IVR speech model for applications that require capturing user data via voice. The IVR speech model recognizes and formats letters, digits, numbers, names, email addresses, phone numbers and zip codes.
