You guys sound like cool guys.

I've loved using pgdog for the last 6 months. It's been incredibly stable. It's nifty how they've solved the LISTEN/NOTIFY on a transaction pooler problem.

Added gladia..

- 3. Speechmatics (enhanced): +12 new cases, running total 214/248 (86.3%)

- 4. NVIDIA Parakeet (TDT 0.6B v2): +6 new cases, running total 220/248 (88.7%)

- 7. AssemblyAI (universal-2): +1 new cases, running total 226/248 (91.1%)

- 10. AssemblyAI (universal-3-pro): +0 new cases, running total 227/248 (91.5%)

They are all transcribed by multiple blinded "accent natives". But yes, your point is valid - going to see if I can tease out the "single person accuracy".

Ran it over our internal dataset of ~250 recordings of people saying british postcodes (all kinds of accents, etc) - it's competitive for sure!

Soniox (stt-async-v4): 176/248 (71.0%) ElevenLabs (scribe_v2): 170/248 (68.5%) AssemblyAI (universal-3-pro): 166/248 (66.9%) Deepgram (nova-3): 158/248 (63.7%) AssemblyAI (universal-2): 148/248 (59.7%) Cohere (transcribe-03-2026): 148/248 (59.7%) Speechmatics (enhanced): 134/248 (54.0%)

P.s. how do I get this to render correctly on here?

Incroyable! Competitive (if not better) than deepgram nova-3, and much better than assembly and elevenlabs in basically all cases on our internal streaming benchmarking.

The dataset is ~100 8kHz call recordings with gnarly UK accents (which I consider to be the final boss of english language ASR). It seems like it's SOTA.

Where it does fall down seems to be the latency distribution but I'm testing against the API. Running it locally will no doubt improve that?

As someone who’s from Brisbane but spent the last 7 years in London you’re 100% correct. Brisbane is the best city in the world. I’m excited to eventually move back.
