AssemblyAI details scaling batch transcription for high throughput

AssemblyAI's blog post details how to effectively manage large-scale batch transcription tasks, emphasizing throughput and concurrency over individual file latency. The company highlights that for processing vast amounts of audio, the ability to handle many requests simultaneously is more critical than the speed of a single transcription. AssemblyAI offers unlimited concurrency, allowing users to submit entire backlogs at once, which can significantly reduce overall processing time compared to services with strict concurrency limits. For very long audio files, the post suggests a strategy of chunking the file and processing these segments in parallel to achieve faster turnaround times. AI
