About

Ink 2 is Cartesia’s fastest, most accurate streaming speech-to-text model, built for production voice agents with the lowest word error rate and best turn detection of any streaming STT. It is designed to transcribe structured data such as phone numbers, dates, and emails correctly the first time, while also knowing when a speaker starts and finishes without requiring a separate voice activity detection system. Turn detection is built directly into the model, so voice agents can react to events instead of managing raw transcript segments. Ink 2 emits a full lifecycle of turn events, giving an agent clear signals for when to listen, interrupt, think, prepare a reply, cancel a premature response, or speak. The transcript property is cumulative within a turn, meaning each update contains the full text transcribed so far rather than a delta, and emitted text is final once sent.
