Ursa
Ursa is Speechmatics’ speech-to-text model family for transcribing live and recorded audio across languages, accents, and speakers.
In inglese
Ursa converts speech into text for applications such as captions, search, analytics, voice agents, legal transcription, and healthcare documentation. It supports batch and real-time transcription, speaker information, timestamps, formatting, and translation workflows.
Speechmatics released Ursa 2 as its next-generation model in October 2024. Current Speechmatics pricing is usage-based and is listed by API model and processing mode rather than by the Ursa name; translation, summaries, chapters, sentiment, and topics cost extra.
