A PR person I’ve known for some time recently introduced me to Deepgram. This company’s application of AI is for speech-to-text. I use speech-to-text to dictate thoughts to Apple Notes on my iPhone while out walking in nature. I would certainly welcome all advancements in this area.
Deepgram announced the launch of Nova-3, its most advanced speech-to-text (STT) model to date. Nova-3 is said to be accurate in challenging audio environments. It can be customized for industry-specific needs. The company’s infrastructure includes text-to-speech (TTS) and full speech-to-speech (STS) capabilities.
Nova-3 is engineered for real-time use cases leveraging an advanced latent space architecture to encode complex speech patterns into a highly efficient representation.
Sample use cases:
- Adverse acoustic conditions – Accurately transcribes speech in distant, noisy, and multi-speaker scenarios, making it ideal for air traffic control, drive-thrus, and call centers.
- Real-time multilingual support – Enables real-time transcription across multiple languages—the first model of its kind to do so—making it ideal for emergency response, global customer service, and multilingual operations.
- Industry-specific accuracy – Recognizes domain-specific terminology for specialized fields like medical and legal transcription.
- Precision data handling – Ensures accurate numeric recognition for retail, banking, and finance while supporting real-time redaction of sensitive information for compliance and data privacy.
