AssemblyAI enhances speech-to-text with contextual awareness

AssemblyAI has introduced "Contextual Awareness" for its Universal-3.5 Pro Realtime speech-to-text model. This new feature allows the model to leverage contextual information, such as the topic of discussion, speaker identity, and previous utterances, to significantly improve transcription accuracy, particularly in real-world, noisy environments. The system incorporates two main capabilities: contextual prompting, where users can provide natural language descriptions of the audio content to guide the model, and conversation context, which enables the model to retain and utilize previous transcriptions and spoken messages within a session.
