MAI-Transcribe 2

MAI-Transcribe 2 is Microsoft's dedicated speech recognition model, built to convert audio recordings into written text across dozens of languages. It is designed to handle challenging, real-world listening conditions such as heavy background noise, varied accents, and conversations where speakers switch between languages mid-sentence. In practice, users can supply noisy customer service calls, fast-paced meeting discussions, or clinical dictations, and the model transcribes the speech while identifying distinct speakers and attaching exact timestamps to individual words. It also incorporates custom terminology and industry keywords so that specialized medical names or technical jargon are transcribed accurately.

This model is well suited for organizations automating call analysis, generating video subtitles, or turning spoken dictations into ready-to-use notes. Within Microsoft's MAI model lineup, which includes distinct models for reasoning, coding, and image generation, MAI-Transcribe 2 focuses specifically on fast, low-error transcription and precise automatic language detection.
