Voice AI company ElevenLabs has launched Scribe v2 Realtime, its most advanced Speech-to-Text model designed to deliver human-quality live transcription in under 150 milliseconds. The model supports more than 90 languages, including 11 Indian ones such as Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, and Gujarati.

The company said the model achieves 93.5% accuracy on the FLEURS benchmark across 30 European and Asian languages, setting a new standard for real-time multilingual communication. Scribe v2 Realtime is aimed at developers and enterprises building voice assistants, meeting tools, and live captioning applications.

According to ElevenLabs, the model features negative latency prediction, text conditioning, voice activity detection (VAD), and manual commit controls for enhanced streaming performance.

Enterprise applications range from customer call transcription and compliance monitoring to medical dictation, real-time meeting notes, and accessibility captions for education and media.

In India, ElevenLabs has enabled data residency options to comply with local data regulations. The model also integrates with ElevenLabs Agents, allowing developers to create more natural conversational systems for support and sales workflows.

Key features include ultra-low latency live transcription, next-word and punctuation prediction, domain-specific custom vocabulary, and zero-retention mode for sensitive workloads. It also offers speaker diarisation, timestamp precision, and full enterprise compliance with Indian and global standards.

Scribe v2 Realtime is available today through the ElevenLabs API and can be directly deployed within ElevenLabs Agents.

ElevenLabs also recently launched Chat Mode, a text-only feature for its conversational agents, expanding beyond voice-first AI.

The company also deepened its move into AI-generated music through licensed partnerships with Merlin Network and Kobalt Music Group, ensuring copyright-safe content for creators in film, gaming, and wellness industries.
