What this deployment accepts through our API. A no means the option is not offered on this model here — not that the vendor has never shipped it.
Languages
59 languages on this deployment, as the vendor publishes them. It will also identify the language itself when you do not name one.
The vendor’s own parameters
| Parameter | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
diarization | unset | Separate speakers by voice, by audio channel, or both. Overrides the universal diarization switch. |
speaker_sensitivity | 0.5 | 0 to 1. Higher finds more distinct speakers, at the cost of splitting one voice in two. |
prefer_current_speaker | unset | Stay with the previous speaker when the acoustic match is close. Reduces false switches and can miss brief interjections. |
max_speakers | unset | Upper bound on distinct speakers. Two or more; ignored below that. |
channel_diarization_labels | unset | Comma-separated names for the audio channels, in order — for example: Agent, Caller. |
output_locale | unset | Regional spelling of the transcript. Set automatically from the chosen language; override it here. |
punctuation_sensitivity | unset | 0 to 1. Higher produces more punctuation. |
permitted_marks | unset | Punctuation marks to allow, separated by spaces — for example: . , ? — or "all". A comma cannot be a separator here because it is one of the marks. Overrides the universal punctuation switch. |
remove_disfluencies | unset | Drop hesitation sounds such as 'um' and 'uh', adjusting capitalisation around them. |
enable_entities | unset | Return dates, money and similar as single items carrying both their spoken and written forms. |
domain | unset | A domain-specialised pack for the chosen language, such as finance or medical. Leave empty for the general model. |

What Speechmatics says about it
Speechmatics' faster tier. Feature-identical to Enhanced — same languages, diarization and custom dictionary — trading accuracy for speed.
