AssemblyAI details speech AI selection for meeting platforms

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

AssemblyAI's blog post details how virtual meeting platforms should select their speech AI layer, emphasizing that the decision is no longer *if* to use AI, but *which* AI to use. The post highlights that standard accuracy metrics like word error rate are insufficient, and proper noun recognition (missed entity rate) is crucial for practical usability. AssemblyAI suggests that providing context, such as calendar invitees and account names, to the speech model significantly improves performance, especially for handling names and technical jargon. Additionally, the article stresses the importance of accurate speaker diarization, particularly in complex multi-participant calls, and explains how their Universal-3.5 Pro and Universal-3.5 Pro Realtime models address these challenges with features like revision-based live diarization.
