AssemblyAI
has
announced
significant
upgrades
to
its
services,
including
the
addition
of
German
Speech-to-Text
(STT)
in
its

model
and
enhancements
to
its
Personally
Identifiable
Information
(PII)
and
Entity
Detection
models,
according
to

AssemblyAI.

German
Speech-to-Text
Added
to
Universal-1

The
AI
company
has
integrated
German
language
support
into
Universal-1,
its
most
advanced
multilingual
STT
model.
This
update
allows
users
to
transcribe
German
audio
and
video
with
high
accuracy,
making
it
easier
for
developers
to
incorporate
German
language
transcription
into
their
applications.

The
Universal-1
model
is
known
for
its
high
performance
in
speech
recognition
across
multiple
languages.
With
the
addition
of
German,
AssemblyAI
continues
to
expand
its
linguistic
capabilities,
catering
to
a
broader
audience
and
enhancing
user
experience.

Improved
PII
and
Entity
Detection
Models

AssemblyAI
has
also
upgraded
its
English
model
for
PII
Text
Redaction
and
Entity
Detection.
The
improvements
enhance
the
accuracy
of
detecting
and
removing
personally
identifiable
information
and
other
entities
from
transcripts,
ensuring
higher
data
security
and
compliance
with
privacy
regulations.

New
features
in
the
updated
models
include
the
detection
of
16
new
entities
such
as

vehicle_id
and

account_number.
Additionally,
the
PII
Text
Redaction
model
now
supports
four
more
languages:
Chinese,
Dutch,
Japanese,
and
Georgian,
bringing
the
total
to
47
languages.

These
improvements
allow
developers
to
generate
transcripts
with
sensitive
information
removed,
utilizing
AssemblyAI’s
advanced
audio
intelligence
models.
