Description

Overview: 

Nova-2 is touted as the world's most powerful speech-to-text model, specifically designed for both pre-recorded and streaming audio in English. Nova-2 is 18% more accurate than our previous Nova model and offers a 36% relative WER improvement over OpenAI Whisper (large).

Key Features:
  • Multilingual capabilities.
  • High accuracy and reduced word error rate.
  • Fast inference times.
  • Competitive pricing.
Intended Use:

Intended for a wide range of voice applications including real-time transcription services, media transcription, and automated services requiring speech-to-text functionality.

Technical Details

Architecture: 

Nova-2 utilizes a cutting-edge Transformer-based architecture that delivers substantial enhancements compared to its predecessor. This has led to a notable decrease in word error rate (WER) by 18.4% from Nova-1. Moreover, the architectural improvements in Nova-2 have greatly increased accuracy in transcribing entities (such as proper nouns and alphanumerics), punctuation, and capitalization for both pre-recorded and live streaming content.

Training Data: 

Trained on Deepgram's largest and most varied dataset to date, Nova-2 was developed using nearly 6 million resources and 47 billion tokens, enriched with a comprehensive collection of high-quality human transcriptions.

Performance Metrics: 

Significant improvements in word error rate (WER) compared to previous models and competitors, detailed benchmarking results available.

Speed is crucial for many applications:

Nova-2 outperformed all competitors, registering a median inference time of just 29.8 seconds per hour of diarized audio. This marked a substantial speed advantage, being 5 to 40 times faster than other vendors with diarization capabilities.
