MAI-Transcribe-1.5
MAI-Transcribe-1.5 is Microsoft AI’s production-ready speech-to-text model for turning noisy audio into highly accurate, domain-aware transcripts across 43 languages. It delivers consistent, high-accuracy transcription across languages, accents, speaking styles, and challenging audio conditions, with automatic language detection included. The model is designed for real-world audio where speech often comes through conference rooms, phone lines, busy streets, low-quality recordings, background noise, and overlapping speakers. MAI-Transcribe-1.5 adapts transcription to domain-specific terminology, making it ready for captions, call analysis, accessibility, meeting transcription, doctor’s notes, pharma customer calls, content workflows, and other enterprise speech use cases out of the box. It uses contextual biasing to improve recognition of specialized vocabulary, names, industry language, and terms that generic transcription systems may miss.
