Companies requiring HIPAA compliance must contact ElevenLabs Sales to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) agreement. Please ensure this step is completed before proceeding with any HIPAA-related integrations or deployments.
State of the art accuracy
The Scribe v1 model is capable of transcribing audio from up to 32 speakers with high accuracy. Optionally it can also transcribe audio events like laughter, applause, and other non-speech sounds.
The transcribed output supports exact timestamps for each word and audio event, plus diarization to identify the speaker for each word.
The Scribe v1 model is best used for when high-accuracy transcription is required rather than real-time transcription. A low-latency, real-time version will be released soon.
