Release Notes

Follow new updates and improvements to Speechmatics.

2026.10.05 Batch SaaS

Fixes

  • Fixed a case where a WAV file could be misidentified as a different audio format, causing the job to return an empty transcript. Affected files are now detected correctly, and audio that genuinely cannot be read is rejected with an error instead of returning an empty result.

Updated Orchestrator Version: 2026.10.02+11a1a0c3de+16.3.0

2026.09.30 Batch SaaS

Fixes

  • Fix for English transcription with the Enhanced model: spoken numbers like "ten thousand" were sometimes incorrectly transcribed as "ten zero zero zero".

Updated Orchestrator Version: 2026.09.25+62a2863062+16.2.0

2026.09.23 Batch SaaS

Improvements

  • Improved accuracy and latency for Dutch language with the Enhanced model when processing non-speech audio.

  • The default behaviour for polling GET /jobs/{jobid} and GET /jobs/{jobid}/transcript endpoints is changing so that requests can wait for up to 5 seconds for a job to complete before returning. This behaviour can be disabled by sending wait=0 to return immediately. Client-side polling can be avoided for most jobs by using Synchronous transcription.

Updated Orchestrator Version: 2026.09.21+8a4b0316ed+16.1.0
