Releasing our new v9 transcription model - 11% better accuracy

AssemblyAI has released its new v9 transcription model, marking a significant improvement over the previous version and showing increased performance across various audio types. The new model also provides the foundation for the upcoming v10 model, expected to deliver radical improvements in speech recognition accuracy. The v9 model demonstrates an 11% average improvement in Word Error Rate (WER) compared to its predecessor, and it shows improved transcription quality beyond quantitative metrics such as WER. It also offers marked improvements with respect to proper nouns. The new model is currently deployed and automatically used for all transcriptions going forward.
