ElevenLabs Launches Scribe v3 STT Models
ElevenLabs launched Scribe v3 for recorded audio and Scribe v3 Live for realtime transcription, claiming 27% fewer word errors and 44% lower semantic WER than their predecessors. Both are available through ElevenAPI. Official documentation: https://elevenlabs.io/docs/overview/capabilities/speech-to-text
Scribe v3 is a meaningful infrastructure upgrade for voice applications because it improves both transcription accuracy and conversational timing.
- –Turn prediction helps voice agents avoid interrupting callers during natural pauses.
- –Scribe v3 supports 90+ languages, speaker diarization, mixed-language transcription, and configurable number formatting.
- –Scribe v3 Live adds multilingual mode and a large keyterm library for specialized domains.
- –Developers should validate performance on their own audio, since vendor benchmark methodology may not map directly to production WER.
