🚀 Batch API​

Batch API V2 released, check out our guide and try it out!

Notable changes:

  • Improved support for working with multiple audio files
  • Flatten ProcessAudioSource message by splitting processing_config into tasks, config and output
  • Enable specifying text output formats, lexical or display
  • Add support for translation Enterprise feature
  • Improve documentation

Batch API V1 will still be available, but it's being deprecated.

🔧 Maintenance​

When creating a new application, it's now deployed directly and is ready for use. This means you no longer need to remember to press Deploy in Speechly Dashboard, or run the deploy command with Speechly CLI, after creating an application!

📝 Docs​

Added a comprehensive Features table from where you can see all Speechly features and their availability.

🖥 CLI​

Version 0.11.5 released, which improves the download command. Previously it would clear the output directory. Now it just downloads the latest configuration, overwriting any files with the same filename. All other files in the output directory are left as is.

🖥 CLI​

Version 0.11.4 released.

  • Improve on-device transcription
  • Improve first time usage

👀 Demos​

New transcription demo available. The demo accurately transcribes both live and pre-recorded audio using our off-the-shelf large-highaccuracy speech recognition model.

🔮 Dashboard​

  • A lot of under the hood maintenance, hopefully the Dashboard is now even faster and smoother.
  • Fix a bug where the lookup editor would be empty

💎 ASR improvements​

Our newest generation of ASR models using conformer transducer architecture are now in public beta for all users. The new architecture provides significant accuracy gains in word error rate.

🖥 CLI​

Version 0.11.2 released, notable changes:

🔮 Dashboard​

  • Improved application empty state and onboarding views.
  • Fix a bug where a previously deployed application that is currently in training couldn't be previewed.
  • Fixes to local storage handling.

🚀 Streaming & Batch API​

As of next week, we're switching to using lowercase letters in the transcript from our APIs. The intent and entities will be unaffected by this, but after the change the contents of the segment.words list would be in lowercase.

If you are currently relying on the transcripts being in uppercase for some feature, please make sure to update that logic. For most users this won't be an issue, though.

📝 Docs​

Today we are extremely happy to finally announce version 2.0 of our documentation! 🥳️

  • We rewrote and restructured most of our content in order to make things clearer and improve the developer experience.
  • The site has a new look and feel with better mobile and dark mode support.
  • Even the search is now better, we hope you'll find what you are looking for :)

🖥 CLI​

Version 0.11.0 released, notable changes:

  • Transcribe audio files using Speechly Cloud or On-device with the transcribe command.
  • Evaluate both ASR and NLU accuracy of your application using the evaluate asr and evaluate nlu sub-commands.

🔮 Dashboard​

A lot of changes to application views:

  • Application views were re-organized and some of them were renamed to better describe their purpose.
  • Download SDKs for Speechly On-device from the Integrate page
  • A new design for the Training data (previously Configure) view. The editor is now full height with a sticky sidebar, so less scrolling to find your entities and intents.
  • Templates were removed when creating a new application
  • A bunch of small, yet important, UI improvements
