About Spoken
Spoken is an API that turns any published podcast into a clean Markdown transcript with real speaker names — not "Speaker 1." One API call returns named, timestamped text, ready for LLMs, RAG pipelines, summarizers, and search. Instead of running speech-to-text plus diarization yourself, Spoken serves transcripts of published podcasts directly and resolves speaker names for you — typically 5-10x cheaper for published shows. Search by text or paste a Spotify/YouTube URL. Pay-per-use credits, no subscription; failed calls never charged, repeat fetches free. Agent-native: ships with an Agent Skill, agents.md, llms.txt, and an OpenAPI spec. Free demo key to start; paid credits from $15.

MAI-Transcribe-2
MAI-Transcribe-2 is Microsoft AI’s most capable transcription model yet, designed to deliver fast, accurate speech recognition across a broad range of real-world audio. It supports speaker diarization to distinguish speakers and attribute words to the right person, along with word-level timestamps for precise alignment, search, navigation, and editing. Keyword biasing helps recognize domain-specific terminology, abbreviations, names, and other terms that can be difficult to distinguish from context alone. Developers can choose between configurable transcription styles: a verbatim setting that preserves filler words and false starts for compliance and analysis, or a clean setting that removes fillers for more readable captions, notes, and published transcripts. The model supports code-switching for conversations that naturally move between languages, including blended language pairs such as Hinglish and Spanglish, and can automatically identify the language being spoken.
