New

Melia 1, our multilingual speech-to-text model, is now available in Realtime.

Melia 1 automatically detects the spoken language across 56 languages, so you no longer need to set one up front. It also handles code-switching at the word level, so speakers can change languages mid-stream. Every transcribed word includes a language label as metadata.

Available in US, EU and Australia regions.

Already know the language? Set language_hints configuration to one or more language codes when opening the WebSocket connection to bias recognition toward them.

Adds a new message LanguageInfo which is sent by the server the first time each language is spoken to format the received text, see the API reference for more detail.

Get started: Set model=”melia-1” and language=”multi” with the latest Python or JavaScript SDKs or see API documentation here.
