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.

About

MAI-Transcribe-2-Streaming is a low-latency streaming transcription model built for real-time speech applications, delivering transcripts in 60 languages with automatic, continuous language detection. Rather than waiting for someone to finish speaking, it produces initial partial transcripts just over 100 ms after receiving audio, revises them as more context arrives, and commits stable text quickly. This allows voice applications to begin reasoning, calling tools, or displaying live transcripts while a person is still speaking. Microsoft reports that the model ranks No. 1 for both final and partial transcript accuracy on Artificial Analysis. MAI-Voice-2.1 complements it with multilingual text-to-speech across 23 languages and 26 locales, allowing a single voice to switch languages while maintaining the same speaker identity and adopting native accents.
